Come and Sing! Rutter and Friends

6 October 2014

We are delighted to announce that on Saturday 29 November the choir are opening their doors to welcome guests to join them in a “Come and Sing” day celebrating the carols of John Rutter, in advance of his seventieth birthday year. Fifty years separate his earliest composition, the Shepherd’s Pipe Carol and his most recent carol, Christ is the morning star, but Rutter’s melodic gift proves as eloquent and natural today as it has always been; his music is a joy for singer and listener alike.

The “Come and Sing” day will include a wide selection of Rutter’s most popular carols, alongside three new ones: All Bells in Paradise, Christ is the morning star, and The Colours of Christmas. We will also discover carols from the next generation of composers who are influenced by Rutter’s effortless melodic flair – especially the rising star, Dan Forrest. The workshop will be led by leading conductor, Lee Dunleavy, whose skilful and easy-going approach appeals equally to those who are new to choral singing and the experienced.

Our 2012 Come and Sing Day - in action

Our John Rutter Carols Day on Saturday 29 November begins with registration from 10:00AM, the first session beginning at 10:30AM, and the day concluding at 4:00PM. the school has excellent facilities, including easy access and plentiful parking.

We only have limited places for the event, so we strongly recommend that you book asap; for more information, please see our special “Come and Sing” page.
