Love singing? Come along to Worcester Festival Choral Society’s 2026 Come & Sing one-day choral workshop in the heart of historic Worcester, for a chance to learn Sir William Walton’s thrilling cantata, Belshazzar’s Feast.This dramatic work, composed in 1931 for an eight-part chorus, transports us to the opulent, extravagant city of Babylon, where the stage is set for dramatic downfall of its decadent ruler, Belshazzar.
The day will be under the expert baton of Worcester Cathedral's renowned Director of Music, Samuel Hudson, with piano accompaniment from Worcester Cathedral's outstanding Assistant Director of Music, Nicholas Freestone.
As well as the singing sessions, you’ll enjoy vocal tips, musical insights and take part in an informal performance – all in the company of around 150 other musically minded people. In the afternoon there will be an informal performance with soloist, which participants' guests can attend free of charge.
You don't need choral experience to take part, but an ability to read music is useful. There will be plenty of refreshment breaks to relax and socialise. Plus, as always, you can choose from an array of homemade cakes and pre-orderable lunches to tempt the tastebuds.
Doors open for registration from 9.30am, with singing sessions starting from 10:15am. The day will then finish by 4.45pm.
Tickets are £24 (adults) and £12 (students), which includes score loan and free teas/coffees throughout the day.
