Les Misérables singing day

Here is a little reminder for anyone who is thinking of coming to our Les Mis workshop on 7 May but is yet to enrol: this Monday (18 April) is the deadline for enrolling if you wish to be sure of your music copy.  NB If you have already enrolled, you will soon be hearing from us with further info.

Our summer 2011 schedule is below with a great range of opportunities for people who are new to singing, or even fearful of giving voice, as well as for those who sing regularly and would like to brush up some skills or try a fresh approach or new repertoire.  You can enrol online for any of our courses at www.arbutusmusic.net and you can also find enrolment forms to download there if you prefer – or just let us know if you’d like us to post anything to you.

Best wishes

Christine & Frances

SUMMER SCHEDULE 2011  

Singing the Show ~ Les Misérables  Saturday 7th May  10am to 4pm Ingatestone

Les Misérables has been an enduring hit show in London’s West End.  This is your chance to come along and give your voice a workout singing some of the hit songs. We’ll be singing together in a group with plenty of opportunities to give vent to the melody or to harmonise – above or below as you prefer!

Mamma Mia!  Saturday 4^th June The Ansell Centre, Hadleigh in Suffolk  All welcome from novices to experienced singers. Come along to enjoy the great melodies or have fun with harmonising!  We are thrilled to have this lovely opportunity to sing “away”. If you have friends in the area do let them know – or you might just fancy a lovely day out yourself!  

Sing Shakespeare  Friday 24th June 10am to 4pm  Copped Hall

Please note, this is enrolling very quickly, so don't delay if you are thinking of enrolling.  What better way to spend Midsummer’s Day than singing Shakespeare-inspired music at Copped Hall, near Epping, where A Midsummer Night’s Dream was first performed in 1594. Music from Arne and Purcell to Porter (Kiss me Kate) and Bernstein (West Side Story).

Singing Day  ~ Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Wednesday 27th July 10am to 4pm  Blackmore

A special day for all singers.  We shall be singing the full music version of Joseph, with plenty of challenging close-harmony options as well as the opportunity to enjoy singing out all the well-known tunes, as you prefer.  All welcome - lots of fun for everyone from novice to experienced choral singers.
