Vox Anima London is delighted to host the inaugural international Ness Beck Composers' Workshop in June 2025. Composers will be immersed in the inspirational setting of Kettle's Yard, surrounded by iconic and magnificent spaces such as King's College Chapel. Three days of workshops, presentations, and discussions led by Dan Forrest will be followed by a further two days of observation or participation in choral rehearsals of Dan's CREATION, culminating on the final day in a performance of this work in the wondrous nave of Ely Cathedral. Workshop participants will register through the John Ness Beck Foundation by clicking the green button link below.
