Come and join The Quayside Choir for an exciting and inspiring day of singing at Upton Community Centre. The Workshop will be led by Simon Earl, Director of Music, Organist & Master of the Choristers at Christchurch Priory, Dorset. Simon is a highly experienced Choral Director and organist – he is the founder of the Christchurch Festival Chorus and musical director of Christchurch Priory Music & Arts Festival.

This ‘Come & Sing’ workshop will feature sections from Carl Orff’s dramatic ‘Carmina Burana’, through which Simon will focus on vocal and choral technique, musicianship and interpretation. No prior knowledge of the music is required, although the ability to read music would be an advantage.
