WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
Come and join Weymouth Choral Society for an
exciting and inspiring day of singing at The
Thomas Hardye School in historic Dorchester.
The Workshop will be led by Colin Davey, Chief
Examiner and Education Programme Manager for
the Royal School of Church Music. Colin is a
highly experienced Choral Director and organist,
currently holding the position of Director of Music
with Fareham Philharmonic Choir and at St
Michael’s Church, Bassett, Southampton. Colin
has a passion for the English Choral Tradition and
has worked with adult and junior singers in many
churches, schools and community settings. He
also works occasionally as a composer, arranger
and editor, and has had several compositions
performed on television and radio.
This daytime workshop will feature choruses from
Mendelssohn’s popular, dramatic oratorio ‘Elijah’,
through which Colin will focus on vocal and choral
technique, musicianship and interpretation.
No prior knowledge of the music is required,
although the ability to read music would be an
advantage.
