Drawing on decades of experience with the legendary King’s Singers, this hands-on workshop invites educators and keen amateur singers to discover what makes unaccompanied vocal music so special. From blending voices to holding a room, Chris will walk you through the techniques and philosophy that sit at the heart of great ensemble singing.

Expect practical exercises, good stories, and plenty of singing along the way. Whether you’re looking to inspire your students or simply enjoy a good sing, this is a genuinely rare chance to go behind the curtain of one of the world’s great vocal groups. No audition required — just bring yourself and your voice!
