Choral Workshops

Every year, the Suffolk Singers put on a Choral Workshop led by our Director Claire Weston, and her team. We regularly have around 150 people join us for what is a productive and jolly day.

Our aims are 
  • for people with a like minded interest to come together and meet each other
  • for people to enjoy sharing music-making 
  • to provide the opportunity for you to sing larger works that singers might not often have the chance to sing with their choir
  • to learn some valuable singing technique
  • to have a real sense of achievement from the start to the end of the day
  • for you to enjoy it: it's not about perfection but having a work in progress because for us music is about joy and collaboration with others who have the same goal in sight
  • have lots of lovely cakes!​

A typical day runs from 9.30am to around 5.00pm
  • Registering, with refreshments provided
  • Coming together to listen to the works and have a sight-read
