Choral Fundraiser

Repertoire will be learned over a five week period and will include sacred music from all over the world: starkly beautiful Corsican Kyrie Eleisons, haunting medieval plainsong, rousing hymns from Wales, Africa and beyond; and a cycle of songs by Lou Laurens.

Lou is an experienced and inspirational voice coach and choir leader, and has just completed an MA in Sonic Arts/Composition at Middlesex University.
