Come & Sing! Belshazzar’s Feast – One-day choral workshop

Thrilling to sing and exciting to listen to, Belshazzar’s Feast was composed in 1931 for an eight-part chorus, and transports us to the opulent, extravagant city of Babylon, where the stage is set for dramatic downfall of its decadent ruler, Belshazzar. The day will be led by Worcester Cathedral's renowned Director of Music, Samuel Hudson, with piano accompaniment from its superb Assistant Director of Music, Nicholas Freestone. As well as the singing sessions, you’ll enjoy vocal tips, musical insights and take part in an informal closing performance with soloist – all in the company of around 150 other musically minded people. You don't need choral experience to take part, but an ability to read music is useful. There will be plenty of refreshment breaks to relax and socialise. Plus you can choose from an array of homemade cakes and pre-orderable lunches to tempt the tastebuds. Doors open for registration from 9.30am. Singing sessions start from 10:15am. The day finishes at 4.45pm. Tickets include loan of vocal score and free teas/coffees all day.
