<p>Ian was a headmaster and music lover who unfortunaltely&nbsp;passed away &nbsp;in 2009. He was a founder member of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.webjam.com/concordia" title="Concordia Webjam webpage"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Concordia</span></a><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">!</span>, a small community choir in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. Ian had a love for folk music and it was decided by the committee of the choir that a fitting tribute would be to hold a bi-annual choral workshop with a focus on folk and traditional music.</p>
<p>The inaugural workshop will be in Novemeber this year (2010) on the weekend of the 6th and 7th with the&nbsp;performance on Saturday the 13th - more details on our website: <a href="http://www.webjam.com/icfcw">www.webjam.com/icfcw</a>&nbsp;The main work will be <a target="_blank" href="http://www.oooliticmusic.com/" title="Ooolitic Music Website">Malcolm Dalglish's</a> "Hymnody of Earth" with the folk musician <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Harris" title="Wikipedia entry for Sue Harris">Sue Harris</a> playing Hammer Dulcimer. There will also be a 2 hour Auto Harp workshop for children on the day of the performace with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.harperscraft.com/" title="Harper's Craft Website">Mike Fenton</a>&nbsp; and they will also perform in the concert.</p>
