Explore the ancient art of unaccompanied sacred singing, used by people throughout the world to bring joy, healing and inspiration to their lives. Lift your spirits with a feast of harmonies and learn songs from a range of cultures spanning the globe. You don’t need to be at all religious to tap into the beauty of sacred song.

This will be Chris’s fourteenth (!) annual singing day in Kenilworth since he moved to Suffolk. It will also be the third year that he has used this amazingly large and light space in the centre of town. Every year except one (shame!) the singing has brought the sun out.

Sacred Song encompasses an amazing mix of musical diversity: from the Black gospel church and the slave plantations of rural Southern USA, to Jewish Sephardic singing from Spain; from South African protest songs to New Zealand Maori hymns; from Corsican polyphony to the lush harmonies of the Russian Orthodox church; from the chants of the Taizé community to medieval plainsong; from the Georgian church to the Shaker community; and much more in between. We will learn songs from some of these different traditions, all specially arranged for voice in unaccompanied harmony.
