Come & Sing! One-day choral workshop - open to all!

Love singing? Join hosts Worcester Festival Choral Society and friends for our next exhilarating, annual choral workshop. You'll have the chance to explore one of the great choral works alongside at least 100 other amateur singers, under the direction of one of the UK's leading choirmasters, with superb piano accompaniment. To round off the day there will be an informal performance with soloists, which singers' family and friends can attend free of charge.

NEXT COME & SING WORKSHOP: SPRING 2026

Meanwhile, here is an overview of a typical WFCS workshop day (exact details pending):

Do I need choral experience?
No, singers don't need choral experience or a beautiful voice to take part! However, if the works are new to you, an ability to read music will be useful. If you're already familiar with the music, just come and enjoy the sing.
