We are very excited to welcome South African diva Noni Nhlapo to Stafford, where she will show us some of the secrets of her country’s rich choral music tradition. Church Lane Evangelistic Church, Stafford. The workshop will start at 7:30pm and end at approximately 9:45. Songs will be taught orally so there is no need to read music. Noni will teach us some of her favourite songs from South Africa, and she will give us some help with pronunciation and style too.
