Events

The masterclass will be divided into two parts: in the morning the participants will work on repertoire by John Rutter, alongside the choir of Voci Bianche (Aurora Choir of Mirandola), while in the afternoon they will have the opportunity to sing together with the Emilia Romagna Regional Youth Choir.

This concert will open the Mysterium Festival (one of the most important Easter Festivals in Italy). John Rutter will conduct the Orchestra Magna Grecia and Coro Regionale ARCoPu in a programme of his own music, including the Requiem.

Come and enjoy a day of singing with one of the most famous and successful composers and conductors of our time – the legendary John Rutter! John will lead an enjoyable exploration of a variety of choral music, including some of his own well-loved pieces.  The day is open to singers of all abilities and confidence levels. Some sight-reading ability will be beneficial, though the pace of the day is relaxed and informal.

Tea and coffee will be available all day; please bring your own packed lunch.

Under-16s must be accompanied by a registered adult singer.

We need the names of every individual singer taking part before the day, so if buying multiple tickets, please make sure you note these on the order.

All sheet music will be provided on arrival. There will be the opportunity to buy your set of copies during the day (cash, card, or PayPal).

Book now! The day will be hugely popular and space is limited!
