International Children's Choir Festival
-
A week of immersive choral singing in London, Canterbury, and Rochester. With inspirational leadership from both British and American directors. Led by the brilliant Charles MacDougall and Max Barley, the Children's Festival will begin with workshops and an informal concert in London; transferring after a few days to Canterbury, the experience will build through rehearsals under Adrian Bawtree - Organist and Director Music at Rochester Cathedral, and Joshua Pedde and Amy Hughley of Indianapolis Children's Choir, to an Evensong and Concert in the incredible setting of Rochester Cathedral.
