Calling all singers!

If you love to sing and have some choral experience and music reading ability, don't miss this exciting opportunity!

Join us at All Saints Church, Northampton this May to sing Will Todd’s Mass in Blue and learn directly from the celebrated composer Will Todd himself!

Mass in Blue is a jazz interpretation of the Latin mass for SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) voices and Soprano soloist. It combines jazz rhythms with expressive choral harmonies and solo piano. Commissioned in 2003, it has quickly become a favourite in choral repertoire, and we think you will love it too!

The Northampton Bach Choir will be performing the full work at our ‘Then Sing We All’ Concert on 21 June 2025 at Christchurch, Northampton, and we’re delighted to have local choral enthusiasts join us in this workshop as we kick off preparations for this exciting, and expressive blended work!

 

The venue

All Saints Church is our venue for the day - a beautiful historic 17th Century church, built in the style of Christopher Wren’s London churches after the Great Fire of London, and situated in the heart of Northampton, a short walk from the Town’s cultural quarter.

The onsite bistro will be open, or you are free to bring your own lunch or eat out in one of the many cafes and restaurants nearby. Light refreshments (tea/coffee/juice and biscuits) included in the ticket price.

The church has full disabled access, including toilet facilities. Please do make us aware of any access or other requirements when you book.
