Saturday 30th November - Workshop for singers.
Katy Silverman, a tutor new to BMEMF led us wonderfully in a workshop of the music of Edmund Hooper and Orlando Gibbons. Katy was a splendid tutor - confident, friendly, encouraging and good-humoured, but at the same time demanding enough to persuade us to up our game. She gave us just the right amount of information about the composers and the background to the music. The Bridges Centre in Monmouth was a good venue and the day ran very smoothly, enhances as ever by the refreshments and cake from Amanda and Sarah.
