+ COME AND SING JAZZ! WORKSHOP
An afternoon workshop exploring jazz singing through groove-based harmonies, led by the inspirational musical director and internationally recognised choir leader, Pete Churchill. You don’t need any previous singing experience or an ability to read music, just enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new. Songs will be taught by ear, so no sight-singing skills are required, and the workshop is open to all, from the novice to the experienced choir singer. The workshop choir will also take part in the evening performance, a highlight of the day!
The workshop is from 2pm to 5pm, in the Performing Arts Studio.
Tickets for the workshop include the evening performance and are £18 (£16 for Guildford Jazz Members, £5 Students/U18s)
Please note there are no physical tickets, just give your name on the door when you arrive. Seating is unreserved so please select your seats when you arrive.
