Ian Clews Memorial Folk Choral Workshop - Inaugural Year

 With the passing in 2009 of the well-loved Headmaster of Manor House School, Ian Clews, it was thought that a suitable tribute would be to combine two of his favourite things; Singing in a choir and Folk Music. 

 The workshop is a chance for singers to come together for intensive work over a weekend culminating in a performance with professional musicians the following weekend. The workshop will be under the guidance of James Allen, the Musical Director of Ashby's local choir, Concordia. The main work will be Malcolm Dalglish's "Hymnody of Earth" for Choir, Hammer Dulcimer and Percussion. We will be joined by Folk Musician, Sue Harris, on the Hammer Dulcimer. The piece is an enjoyable yet challenging sing and will offer thought provoking moments as well as some of pure energy.

 The workshop is on:

Saturday 6th - Sunday 7th November at the Manor House School in Ashby de la Zouch

There is a workshop and full run-through with the musicians on: 

Saturday 13th November at Holy Trinity Church, Ashby de la Zouch

 The concert is:

7:30pm - Saturday 13th November 2010 at Holy Trinity Church Ashby de La Zouch
