Sing Joyfully '25 - with Mozart at the helm!
On 15–16 November in Chandler’s Ford, UK, we gather for a weekend devoted to Mozart’s music — full of wit, precision, and heart. Across two days, we will work with solos, ensembles, and stagecraft in Italian, German, and Latin, shaping the sessions to the voices in the room.
