John Rutter Conductor

If you love singing and can read a bit of music, this inspiring workshop is for you.

Led by the celebrated composer and conductor, John Rutter Come and Sing is an afternoon of choral singing to lift the spirits.  Music will be a mixture of old and new, including some of John Rutter’s own well-loved choral works.  If you are not a singer yourself, come along as an observer instead.

 

Join us for a fun day of music making and benefit from the insights of Britain’s leading choral composer.

Distinguished composer and conductor, John Rutter, leads this brand new singing day devoted to choral pieces by a variety of composers old and new, including some of John’s own music. The event is open to all – adults and secondary school aged children. Though prior singing experience is desirable, no advance preparation is required.

Come and join one of the world’s most popular living composers and conductors for a fabulous day of singing! Whether you are young or old, an experienced chorister or new to choral singing, this will be a day to remember, performing an interesting and varied selection of music under the kindly and expert guidance of John Rutter.

All ages and abilities are welcome, there are no minimum standards and no auditions. An ability to read music is an advantage but not a necessity.  The music will include some of John’s recent compositions and personal favourites, and the accompanist for the day will be Ben Morris (Assistant Director of Music, York Minster). The ticket price includes hire of all music required for the day, as well as tea and coffee, but participants should bring their own packed lunch.

A fantastic opportunity to sing at Bradford Cathedral under the guidance of the legendary John Rutter.
