Come and Sing Bach Chorales
Come and Sing Bach Chorales
Join us for a day of shared music-making, where you’ll learn and perform chorales from JS Bach's St Matthew & St John Passions.
Sign-up is now closed.
Experience the power of singing and performing as a group, in the second year of our Come and Sing events. Together, you’ll learn and perform chorales from Johann Sebastian Bach's St Matthew & St John Passions, with organ accompaniment from Michael Bawtree.
In the morning workshop, Edinburgh Festival Chorus Director James Grossmith will guide you through the score, which you’ll receive in advance. In the afternoon, you’ll perform in a sharing for family and friends, filling the hall with the sound of your collective voices.
This free workshop is for those who can read music.
