Is this Come and Sing event for you?
Ideally participants should have some experience of singing in a choir and have sung Haydn's The Creation before, even if it was several years ago. If you are a competent musician and can sightread but have not had the opportunity to perform this wonderful work before, you will certainly enjoy this experience!
