John Rutter

This is a unique opportunity to take part in a day of uplifting choral singing under the baton of one of the UK’s most cherished composers who celebrates his 80th birthday this year. Sir John Rutter will lead singers through some of his best-loved compositions, a brand new work and pieces by other composers that he has chosen for the occasion. Singers of all ages and experience are welcome (age guidance 16 upwards), although the day will be geared to those who have at least some choral experience and music-reading ability. We’ll sing the music just for fun, no advance preparation is expected and no performance is given at the end of the day. The pace will be relaxed and informal, John will share some stories from his extraordinary career and you’ll pick up some vocal tips along the way.
