Building on the success of previous Choral Days, Histon-based Choir 2000 is again offering an opportunity to study Mozart's beautiful Vesperae Solennes de Confessore under the skilled direction of David Hill who, although of international fame, is still closely connected to this area.

David Hill is widely respected as both a choral and orchestral conductor in this country and abroad. At present he is the Chief Conductor of the BBC Singers, Musical Director of the Bach Choir, Music Director of the Leeds Philharmonic Society and Chief Conductor of The Southern Sinfonia.

The day will start at 9.30am with a short warm-up piece, 'Hamba Lulu' before moving on to the main work. We finish with a 'performance' open to the public free of charge at around 4.30pm. The day will finish at around 5.15pm.

We also arrange a lunchtime hog roast at a local pub if there is sufficient interest.

Enrolment for the day is £12 - scores are included and CD rehearsal files are available at a small extra charge. A registration form can be downloaded from our website at: http://www.choir2000.org/
