What's On - THE YORKE TRUST

What's On

Calling all Choristers!
The 'Libiamo' Experience! (trans. 'Let's Drink!')

In fact, this project is not about drinking but about Opera Chorus! Libiamo is the first line of the famous Brindisi chorus from Verdi's Traviata.

The Yorke Trust is offering a short course where you can explore this chorus along with the opening chorus of Verdi's Otello.

Come and have the experience of singing real Italian choruses - in Italian!
In this course, led by Jennifer Hamilton, you can work on your technique, accessing the full range of your voice, learn about vocal projection and singing idiomatically in Italian. Lawrence Thackeray and Alison Langer (who is performing Violetta at ENO next Spring), will be singing the solo parts.

The course should provide a short but immersive experience.

It will take place in The Yorke Trust Old Chapel, South Creake on:
Saturday 17 October 1.00-15.00
Saturday 24 October 13.00-17.00
Sunday 25 October 12.30-14.00 followed by presentation for friends and family
15.00 - 17.00 (approx)
The course fee is £20.
