Experience the Magic of Vocal Harmony in Warrington!
Join us on Thursday 28 May 2026 as our Come And Sing A Cappella Wonders UK Tour reaches Warrington!
A fantastic touring one-day workshop led by our award-winning conductor Ben England BEM, these events offers a rare opportunity to delve into some of the most sublime works in the vocal canon, including the haunting beauty of Allegri’s Miserere and Tavener’s Song For Athene, the ethereal textures of Stanford’s The Blue Bird and Chesnokov’s Let My Prayer Arise, and the moving harmonies of Bob Chilcott’s MLK and Tallis’ If Ye Love Me.
Supported by professional soprano soloists to soar through those iconic high notes, singers of all backgrounds will spend the day refining their technique and capturing the essence of these "A Cappella Wonders" in a collaborative, professional environment.
Available at three fantastic UK locations -York, Warrington, and Wimbledon - each full-day workshop provides an immersive escape into the world of unaccompanied song. Joining us at the Church of the Ascension in Warrington, you can expect a day filled with expert tuition, musical discovery, and the unparalleled thrill of a massed choir in perfect harmony.
