Peebles Old Parish Church

Singing Workshop
Leaders: Alan & Rebecca Tavener
Organ: Sarah Brown

Alan Tavener is one of the UK’s leading chorus directors. As Director of Music at Strathclyde University, he founded Strathclyde University Chamber Choir in 1980 and then in 1982, together with his wife Rebecca, went on to found Cappella Nova, a multi-award winning professional vocal ensemble with which he has toured worldwide. In 2020, he was awarded the BEM ‘for services to choral music in Scotland’.

Introducing this special workshop, Alan Tavener writes as follows:

“Do you love to sing? Would you like some tips on happy and effective singing?

“This informal Workshop is designed to bring confidence to anyone who enjoys singing. Under the guidance of experienced Workshop Leaders, Alan & Rebecca Tavener (and through the singing of the classic hymns from Stainer’s Crucifixion), the Workshop will combine enjoyment – yes, fun! – with a sense of learning about healthy and effective voice production. Just a little help and advice with these things can make the act of singing all the more enjoyable, so do join us – no musical expertise or experience is required, all you need is any kind of voice…”
