Figments - Cranleigh Choral Week

The hugely successful Harrogate Choral Week grew to be the largest single week gathering of choral singers in the country. Its blend of large chorus and chamber choir repertoire, excellent choral tutors and mix of singing and social activities made it a very popular course for singers of all abilities and backgrounds.

After twelve years based in the North Yorkshire spa town, the course relocated to a new venue – Cranleigh School in Surrey.

Cranleigh School has superb facilities with a purpose built Music School and a range of other rehearsal and performing facilities, including the large School Chapel. The School offers a host of recreational activities including a modern indoor swimming pool, stables and even a nine hole golf course.

For 2008 the end of week concert is of Vaughan William's A Sea Symphony and Stanford's Songs of the Fleet, which will be held in Guildford Cathedral on Saturday 16th August.

I am a regular attender at the choral week, and am also involved in its promotion and marketing by designing the printed material and website.

The 2008 course runs from 10th-17th August, and if you are interested in finding out more you can download a copy of the flyer by clicking on the image to the left or click here to visit the Cranleigh Choral Week website.
