Description
Book your place with Didsbury Singers for our Spring choir workshops for upper voices (sopranos and altos) led by the award-winning conductor and vocal coach Hannah Brine.
Workshops
Our workshops take place on Saturday afternoons in the St James and Emmanuel Parish Centre (behind Emmanuel Church), 6 Barlow Moor Road, Didsbury, Manchester M20 6TR.
We are planning to launch an evening choir soon. If you would like to be updated on news about this, please email hello@didsburysingers.uk.
Workshop dates
Saturday 25 January, 2pm to 4pm
Saturday 1 February, 2pm to 4pm
Saturday 15 March, 2pm to 4pm
Saturday 5 April, 2pm to 4pm
Cost
You can book for individual workshops for £20, or book the whole series for £70 (add each date to your basket in one transaction and the discount will be applied automatically). Each workshop is a stand-alone event so you don’t need to come to all of them to have a brilliant sing and explore some fantastic music!
Is there an age limit?
There’s no upper age limit, but we can only take singers aged 18 and over at present.
What music will we be singing?
I aim to offer a really rich variety of music, from folk songs to classical, to pop, to jazz and everything else. As a conductor I am reactive to the size, abilities and tastes of the group — each choir should have its own personality which is a combination of yours and mine.
I’ve never sung before, can I join?
Many of our singers don’t sight read fluently, but learn a lot by ear. Choral singing skills take a little while to build up, but like any language the more we immerse ourselves, the more fluent we become.
Cancellation policy
Once your place is booked we do not offer refunds.
