About
Northampton Bach Choir is hosting a Come and Sing workshop day open to all (some choral singing or sight reading experience is needed).
This is a fund raising event for Northampton Bach Choir with all profits put towards bringing large scale choral works with professional orchestras and soloists to the people of Northamptonshire.
Cost £25 for adults (+ £1.25 booking fee); £23 (+ £1.15 booking fee) for members and Friends of Northampton Bach Choir; £10 for students and those in full time education (+ 50p booking fee).
Music hire is included in the workshop price and will be provided on the day (if you have your own copy, do bring it!)
All Saints', Northampton is the venue for the day - a beautiful 17th Century church, built in the style of Sir Christopher Wren's London churches after the Great Fire of London, and situated in the heart of Northampton, a short walk from the town's cultural quarter.
You can eat lunch in one of the many cafes nearby, or bring your own to eat in the church. Tea/coffee/squash is included in the ticket price.
Children over 10 who are familiar with choral singing are welcome to take part, but all participants aged under 18 will need a chaperone please. This can be a named friend or family member who is also participating, or a named friend or family member who will remain on site all day. Alternatively, a Licensed Chaperone is available - places are limited so please get in touch with the organiser if you need to book this service. Safeguarding information can be found on the choir's website NBC safeguarding policy
