John will be making a return to Holland for a Come and Sing afternoon at the church of St Peter & St Paul, in Soest. He will take you through various pieces, providing useful tips and tricks for singing the repertoire.

Labrador Events is delighted to present a Come & Sing Day with John Rutter for the whole of The Creation by Haydn, which he has often said is one of his favourite choral works.

We shall be joined by Richard Gowers on organ and Fieri Consort will sing the solos.

Described as one of the most breathtaking views of English countryside, the Abbey sits beside the school and we have use of this building for the whole day.

John will spend some time teaching the significant choruses and we provide audio backing tracks with your voice part louder than the others to help you learn your part.

Come and Sing with John Rutter! This is a lovely opportunity to sing a selection of choral music chosen by John, including his Requiem, a handful of pieces from OUP’s Carols for Choirs 6, and a couple of surprise pieces too.

John will be presenting a session at the 37th Annual ABCD Convention. An exciting weekend of workshops, repertoire, exhibition and networking for everyone who leads singing, whatever their experience.

The Association of British Choral Directors (ABCD) have an exciting weekend planned of workshops, repertoire, exhibition and networking for everyone who leads singing, whatever their experience. Catch up with colleagues, meet new ones, browse new repertoire, brush up on skills with leading practitioners and take part in debate. If you can’t make it for the full weekend, why not join us for a day? There are options to attend on either Saturday or Sunday.

The big sing! Finish the weekend in rousing style with a singing session led by John – President of ABCD – of Feel the Spirit, a cycle of seven familiar spirituals arranged by John. Mezzo-soprano Melanie Marshall, whom the set was written, will be joining John at the session – not to be missed!

John invites you to sing a mixture of choral music, old and new, familiar and unfamiliar, as well as some of his carols and a selection of his most recent compositions.

All are welcome, including singers’ own children. However, the day is aimed at those who have at least some choral experience and music reading ability.
