WORKSHOP
These are optional but are available to provide an insight into Berlioz and his enormous Grande Messe . We shall have a guest speaker – ADRIAN BROWN – who is a widely acknowledged expert in these subjects and an advisor to Sir Colin Davis and many other eminent musicians. The workshops will also give you the opportunity to meet fellow singers and begin to get a feeling for the music we are going to perform.
