West Gallery Workshop for instrumentalists and singers at Catsfield
Saturday 19th March

Sussex Harmony, a Lewes based West Gallery group, are holding a workshop from 11.00am – 4.00pm in Catsfield Village Hall followed by a traditional Evensong in the Church at 5.15pm.  Do come along to sing, play or just listen to the vibrant music that was performed in our parish churches and chapels before the age of the church organ.

We’ll be looking at some great music including material from Catsfield’s original manuscripts dating back to the 18th & 19th centuries. Music will be supplied. Most instruments are welcome. So bring your flute, recorder, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, violin, cello or even serpent. There will be a Bring and Share lunch.

The more the merrier as this music needs to be sung with as much enthusiasm as accuracy!

More details from Mike Cooper 01424 892681 email: mikecooper_at_mdcooper_dot_myzen_dot_co_dot_uk  and also about Sussex Harmony and West Gallery music at www.SussexHarmony.org.uk.
