Come and Sing: Vivaldi Gloria
About
Join Friends of the Vox and a wonderful community of singers in West Malling this September for an afternoon of joyful music-making!Hosted by our non-auditioned SATB choir Vox Populi, and led by Artistic Director James Meaders, this special Come & Sing event will explore Vivaldi’s exuberant 'Gloria', accompanied by Richard Hammond-Hall.
Throughout the afternoon, singers will rehearse together in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, developing choral skills and enjoying the thrill of creating something truly special as a community. Whether you are an experienced musician or simply love to sing, you will be warmly welcomed.
There will also be time during the breaks to meet fellow singers, make new connections, and chat with members of West Malling-based Vox Populi about our unique choral community.
The day will culminate in an informal performance of the 'Gloria' with accompaniment and soloists — a joyful celebration of all the afternoon’s work!
