What are our Choral Workshops?

Our 2025 Choral Workshops are a rare and rewarding opportunity for keen amateur singers to explore a variety of music inspired by The Sixteen’s own Choral Pilgrimage.
Under the guidance of workshop leader and The Sixteen’s Associate Conductor Eamonn Dougan, the workshop will include advice on vocal technique (breathing technique, invigorating warm-ups, voice production) as well as performance interpretation and historical context.
The repertoire will be based on music from our 2025 Choral Pilgrimage: Angel of Peace, which offers a slice of tranquillity in many forms courtesy of luminous, purifying music traversing six centuries. From the enraptured songs of Hildegard of Bingen to the magical realm of a brand new work by composer Anna Clyne, nine pieces of music from across the centuries speak of peace and acceptance and the ecstatic joy their reassurance can bring.
