Choral Days

Come and sing days provide opportunities for singers of all ages and abilities to learn a work or works and to develop their vocal and choral technique. Again, the emphasis is on having a good sing and good fun in a friendly environment.
Special extra 'Note Bashing' evenings organised before each day - see below.
