FOLK ON THE FARM – SINGING FOLK WORKSHOP
As part of the Ashby de la Zouch Arts Festival, we’re running a series of
folk art events on my farm which is situated just outside the town. One of
the events is a Harmony singing workshop and we’ve been lucky enough to get
Liz Underhill to lead it. Liz is the musical director for Global Harmony, a
large community choir based at Melton Mowbray, so very experienced!
It would be great
if some of you could join us! We’ll be using a marquee in one of our
meadows and hopefully picnicking in the fields if the weather is kind!
We’re also having a performance session during the evening and Liz has
kindly agreed to lead anyone who would like to take part by forming a Folk
on the Farm choir after the workshop!
Details of all
our events are on our website:
www.folkonthefarm.co.uk or you can email me:

London
Community Gospel Workshop Choir
This is a community workshop choir that
meets once a week for anyone who would like to learn to sing in a gospel style.
Gospel music is undoubtedly spiritual in nature and requires expression of
feeling, using body, mind and spirit. We believe it is something that everyone
can share in regardless of race, beliefs and abilities. Participants will learn
gospel singing as an art-form and improve their proficiency in singing. The most
important requirement on this course is the desire to learn, bags of enthusiasm
and the willingness to experiment and conquer inhibitions. The course will run
for 8 weeks and includes a public performance at the end....more |
