Joanna Tomlinson
Deal Music & Arts Festival 2025 - Coastlines
Singing Day – Choral Workshop

Workshop leader: Joanna Tomlinson

Calling all keen choral singers! A fantastic chance to work with Joanna Tomlinson, Artistic Director of the Military Wives Choir, who has also sung with the BBC Singers and Gabrieli Consort. Joanna will work on choruses from Verdi’s epic Requiem, ending in an informal performance at the end of the day. She will bring her lively approach to the art of singing, creating a practical and uplifting skills workshop. If you have experience of singing with a choir, seize this opportunity to work with one of the best choral leaders in the country.

Practical information: vocal scores will be available to borrow. If you have either your own copy of the Riccordi or New Novello version of Verdi’s Requiem, please bring this with you.
