WEEK ONE 2 – 9 August
Cappella Chamber Choir
Greg Hallam conductor
Simon Gregory accompanist
If you are a keen choral singer of a reasonable standard and would enjoy a week studying and performing some singularly beautiful music, then this is the course for you.
We welcome Greg Hallam again after his stunning first year with us for what promises to be another musically rewarding and stimulating course.
The choir will be limited to between thirty and forty members and places are subject to the balance of voices. A concert will be given at the end of the week for which the repertoire will be selected from the following list.
“Greg Hallam – excellent! Lovely manner, encouraging, professional, inspiring”
Why not come and meet old friends and make new ones in what could be the most rewarding week of your musical year.
