WHAT'S INCLUDED
You will take part in seven rousing singing sessions spread over the weekend with refreshments provided during the breaks. All music will be taught by ear in English, so no singing experience necessary and a booklet of all the songs will be provided. You will be working towards a unique collaborative concert on the Sunday afternoon with the Parisian amateur choir Aevum.
There will also an opportunity to sing outside in an inspiring and unusual location introduced by a local guide.
There will be a drinks reception after the first singing session where you can make the acquaintance of the other lovely singers in our international singing group.
THINGS THAT YOU MUST DO

OUR VENUES
Our venue for the duration is a true hidden gem! Concealed behind an unassuming door, the church Saint-Joseph-Artisan was built in the nineteenth century as the spiritual centre for the German speaking community who had come to Paris to help build a new area of the city.
We'll be rehearsing in one of their recently renovated spaces, tried and tested as a rehearsal room by local choirs, including Aevum. Our Sunday afternoon concert will take place inside the majestic church itself. Be prepared for a big acoustic!
