Come and Sing! Rutter and Friends
6 October 2014
We are delighted to announce that on Saturday 29 November the choir
are opening their doors to welcome guests to join them in a “Come and
Sing” day celebrating the carols of John Rutter, in advance of his
seventieth birthday year. Fifty years separate his earliest
composition, the Shepherd’s Pipe Carol and his most recent carol,
Christ is the morning star, but Rutter’s melodic gift proves as
eloquent and natural today as it has always been; his music is a joy
for singer and listener alike.

The “Come and Sing” day will include a wide selection of Rutter’s
most popular carols, alongside three new ones: All Bells in Paradise,
Christ is the morning star, and The Colours of Christmas. We will also
discover carols from the next generation of composers who are influenced
by Rutter’s effortless melodic flair – especially the rising star, Dan
Forrest. The workshop will be led by leading conductor, Lee Dunleavy,
whose skilful and easy-going approach appeals equally to those who are
new to choral singing and the experienced.
