Oaken Sings – Ben Rhydding

03 May 2025

3pm—9pm

St John's Church, Ben Rhydding, West Yorkshire

Oaken is a vocal quartet with roots in folk music, branching out into pop and original songs. Emily Barden, Anna Tabbush, Camilo Menjura and Dominic Stichbury are four choral directors and composers who came together in 2020 to deliver online singing workshops during the pandemic. Since then they have developed an exciting repertoire of contemporary and traditional songs plus some of their own compositions. Their innate musicality and friendship bring warmth and joy to their audiences.

Oaken are delighted to be in West Yorkshire for the first time and will be delivering an afternoon singing workshop (3-5pm) which they will team teach, each member leading a part. Music will be taught by ear in luscious 4-part harmony. No previous musical or singing experience necessary.

In the evening you can hear the quartet perform their unique repertoire and join them for refreshments in the interval, profits for which will go to an environmental charity (tbc)

This Oaken workshop & concert will be part of the Earth Day Celebration Weekend, ‘This Precious Earth’ St. John’s Church, Ben Rhydding: Friday 2nd May – Sunday 4th May.

Workshop:  3.00-5.00pm (doors 2.30pm)
Concert:  7.00-9.00pm (doors 6.30pm)
