Join members of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers in an exploration of the rich sound world of John Tavener’s vocal music. In a series of fun and interactive workshops, you will create a new piece of music inspired by Tavener’s ‘The Protecting Veil’. The project will culminate in a performance of your piece on the Barbican Freestage before the evening’s concert: John Tavener Remembered (details below).
If you are aged 12-plus and have an interest in singing or would like to learn more about it, this is the perfect opportunity for you! This is a chance for young singers of all abilities to compose new music from scratch alongside vocal leader Melanie Pappenheim and members of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers. What’s more, it’s free to take part!
