The workshop and concert will centre on Kim André Arnesen’s “Stabat Mater”. Our core choir, Vox Anima Chamber Choir, will perform this work at the evening concert (the UK premiere) with our workshop participants joining for two movements.

This year, Friends of the Vox launched Emerging Composers 2024 - a call for scores for upper voices from composers. The top composition will be workshopped during this day.

More repertoire will be announced closer to the date, and will feature composers such as Sarah Quartel, Eleanor Daley, Alexandra Olsavsky, and Cecilia McDowall.

Your registration fee includes the cost of the score for Stabat Mater by Kim André Arnesen.

The cost of the workshop day is £50 per singer. This includes your entry, refreshments during the breaks (excluding lunch), and your Kim Arnesen score.

If you would like to sign up and pay instalments, please email us directly to discuss options.
