Britain's What's On Event Guide
Bath Bach Choir Come and Sing with Voces8 Coaching
A shining highlight of dull January, the BBC Workshop is back and will this year be led by our new Music Director & Conductor Benedict Collins Rice. A natural showman, musical extrovert and rising star, Benedict is gearing up for a great day, and we’re looking forward to welcoming all our friends and followers.
The musical works to be studied are Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir and Eric Whitacre’s Alleluia. Martin wrote his mass in 1922, considering it a deeply personal work between himself and God and not for public scrutiny. Perhaps for this reason it was not performed until 1963, since when it has gone on to be popular with choirs across the world. Eric Whitacre’s Alleluia was premiered at Sidney Sussex Chapel, Cambridge University, in 2011, with Benedict in the choir. The work simply sets the one word, Alleluia, and embodies Whitacre’s trademark style.
Benedict will be joined by Katie Jeffries-Harris, the alto from Voces8, to help us hone our smaller-group ensemble skills.
The workshop is being held at St Mary’s Church Bathwick, close to the centre of Bath. As ever, there will be cake, drinks and Di Shelley’s famous raffle. Some things never change.
