About the day
Join Jack Brookes and accompanist Evy King for a lively and instructive afternoon of uplifting choral music.
We’ll be reading from music on the day, so some basic music-reading ability would be helpful. Maybe you played an instrument in the past or have sung in a choir before? Your skills don’t need to be advanced – the main thing to bring is a love of singing and an interest in learning some rousing tunes!
The work that we’ll be learning on the day will be the Little Organ Mass by Joseph Haydn (Missa Brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo, Mass No.7 in Bb Major). You can see a recording of it here.
We won’t just throw you in at the deep end, though – first we’ll be working through some vocal exercises and learning about singing technique, to help you perform to the best of your ability.
