Do you love singing? If you do, and can read a bit of music, this inspiring workshop at Kings Place is for you. Led by the celebrated composer and conductor Sir John Rutter, Come and Sing is an afternoon of choral singing to lift the spirits.
This year’s workshop offers a rare and exciting opportunity to be among the very first to explore I’ll make me a world, a brand-new 20-minute choral work by Sir John Rutter. The piece will receive its official concert premiere at St Paul’s Cathedral in November. In this exclusive pre-release event, Sir John invites singers to delve into the score alongside him in an informal, welcoming setting.
With the support of wonderful professional soloists Melanie Marshall and Jonathan Brown, and pianist John Reid, participants will rehearse and perform a complete sing-through of the work by the end of the afternoon.
Singing under the direction of Sir John Rutter himself is a uniquely uplifting experience. His warmth, humour, and musical insight bring out the best in singers of all backgrounds. Whether you’re a regular choral singer or someone with musical experience looking to reconnect with singing, don’t miss this special chance to immerse yourself in a major new work, guided by its composer.
Suitable for ages 14 and over, and open to anyone with a bit of choral singing experience.
The workshop will run for 3 hours and 30 minutes, from 2pm – 5.30pm, and includes a 20 minute break.
Nearer the time, all bookers will be contacted by the Kings Place team with a questionnaire about your preferred singing part. Music scores will be provided on the day, and there will be tea/coffee and biscuits served in the break.
