This year’s Edington Arts Choral Workshop will be held on Saturday 10th June at Edington Priory Church, and all singers are invited to join.
“The workshop will be a fantastic day for anyone who loves Handel; the music to be rehearsed is his showpiece ‘Dixit Dominus’. Not only that, but the workshop will be taken by Andrew Carwood, one of the country’s leading choral directors, (he is Director of Music at St Paul’s Cathedral and has his own Consort, The Cardinall’s Musick), whose expertise is matched only by his wit and humour.
“The five soloists are all previous or current members of the Edington Festival’s choirs; Philippa Murray and Anna Ramell, sopranos, Ben Sawyer, alto, Andrew Hayman, tenor, and Michael Hickman, bass.
“The day will run from registration at 9.30 through to 5.30, and friends and families are invited to join the singers for tea at 3.30pm and to listen to the final session from 4.15pm (no charge).
“Places are £20 (£10 for full time students), plus £2 for music hire; application forms can be downloaded from the Edington Arts website, www.edingtonarts.org, or obtained by phoning Anne on 01380 831454 or emailing her on anne@edingtonarts.org Applications are coming in from all over the south of England, so don’t delay!”
