³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Join members of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Singers in an exploration of the rich sound world of John Tavener’s vocal music. In a series of fun and interactive workshops, you will create a new piece of music inspired by Tavener’s ‘The Protecting Veil’. The project will culminate in a performance of your piece on the Barbican Freestage before the evening’s concert: John Tavener Remembered (details below).

If you are aged 12-plus and have an interest in singing or would like to learn more about it, this is the perfect opportunity for you! This is a chance for young singers of all abilities to compose new music from scratch alongside vocal leader Melanie Pappenheim and members of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Singers. What’s more, it’s free to take part!
