Warming up!
Workshops
We aim to promote at least one singing day each term. Once a year the workshop will be run by our musical director, Chris Rowbury, with others will be led by guest teachers.
Most of the workshops take place at Stamford Arts Centre and details of which can be found in Centre’s brochure. Occasionally we produce a workshop elsewhere, so make sure you are on our mailing list to be kept informed by sending us an email.
