A West Gallery Carol Workshop
Singers, are you bored with ordinary Christmas carols? Come and learn unusual pieces that are fun to sing and not too difficult, in plenty of time for your own carol services and concerts.
The workshop, organised by Sacred Harmony, is on Sunday October 20th, from 2.00pm to 5.00pm at the Centre, Poynton. All voices are welcome. The singing will be in parts so some experience would be useful, but notes will be taught.
West gallery church music was thrown out by the Victorians for being too light hearted, and most of it was forgotten for over 150 years. We will learn Christmas music from parish churches and nonconformist chapels, some written by local composers.
The cost is £4 including refreshments. Please book a place by Friday October 18th. Music can be emailed in advance if you want to practise beforehand.
To book, or for more information please contact Sacred Harmony’s musical director, Sally Drage: sacredharmony@drage.me.uk or text: 07977 903561
