27 to 31 August, Salisbury

David once again leads this feast of singing in the wonderful city of Salisbury for Run By Singers. Have the chance to sing a wide range of sacred and secular music from across the ages in some glorious buildings including Salisbury Cathedral and St Martin’s Church with a day trip to Romsey Abbey. There will also be plenty of time to explore this historic city. 
 
Staying in Sarum College in the close overlooking the Cathedral, this course is a marvellous opportunity to sing some choral favourites and explore some new music from around the world.  Something old, something new and maybe something bluesy! To book a place, visit www.runbysingers.org

14 to 21 May, Granada, Spain

Spend a week singing in the shade of the Alhambra working on a rich programme of choral music whilst enjoying the best of Andalusian food and wine, and relishing the opportunity to be in southern Spain at the perfect time of year.

This Run By Singers course runs from Sunday evening, when we meet for a welcome drink and dinner, to the following Saturday evening where we perform our new repertoire at a formal concert. We will sing for approximately five hours each day with breaks for coffee and a long afternoon break. Thursday will be a half-day when people may choose to explore a little further afield. Full details at https://www.runbysingers.org/granada23-singing-holiday

Saturday 13 May at 5pm, St George’s Bristol

Euro fever comes to Bristol as Exultate Singers presents a late afternoon European song concert of sacred and secular choral music in a dazzling variety of languages, sounds and musical flavours, revealing how vividly each country’s national identity and traditions are expressed in its choral music. At the end of the concert, audience members will award their douze points to their favourite, and the winning country’s piece will be performed again as an encore!
