Seeds of Hope - A Feminist Requiem

Hello singers! You are invited to a singing workshop sharing songs from Seeds of Hope: A Feminist Requiem which will be coming to Glasgow on Saturday October 3rd. This day workshop is on Saturday September 19th from 10-4. If the community chorus tickets have already sold out and you would like to come and sing, do book a ticket for this workshop and then drop me an email so I can put you on the waiting list for the full community chorus if anyone has to drop out. The requiem was written by Penny Stone in memory of her amazing feminist mum, Sue Stone, and brings together the words of women from all over the world, spanning from 575 CE until the present day. The requiem is sung in 18 languages (you won’t have to sing all of them!) and combines a variety of community choir, semi-chorus and soloist acapella singing with cello, violin, percussion and French horn. There are also some singing-together choruses for the audience to join in with that will be taught at the beginning of the concert. There is space in this piece for singing and listening, for sadness and joy, and for connection as well as time spent with our own individual feelings. People of all genders are welcome to join the chorus, attend the workshop as a one off, and/or attend the concert. Tickets for concert only will be under a different booking link, and if you want to sing in the full community chorus for the performance weekend as well, this will be a separate booking link too. Both of these links are at the bottom of this page.

If you would like to participate but the lower end of this is still too much, please do get in touch and I will absolutely arrange a lower fee for you, no questions asked. Full workshop info: The workshop will be at Gorbals Parish Church on Saturday 19th September from 10am-4pm. We will have a shared lunch. You are invited, but not required, to bring food that reminds you of a wonderful (and/or difficult!) woman who is no longer with us.
