    We will go through all these works at the Workshop and will be performing them in Gloucester Cathedral on Saturday 5 July 2024 as part of the Cheltenham Music Festival.

    Adrian Partington will work us hard, stretch and challenge us, and send us home tired and happy and musically wiser.

    We will split up for parts of the rehearsal as the Alto Rhapsody is for men’s voices only while the Messe des pêcheurs de Villerville is for women’s voices only. The Te Deum has no alto part as written so the sopranos will be singing the choir I soprano part and the altos will be singing the choir II soprano part.
