Our programme

Following the overwhelming success of our first Online Choral Workshop, Huddersfield Choral Society invites you to join its next Online Workshop - Bach St John Passion with Iestyn Davies and Mark Seow.

You will be guided through various choruses from Bach's John Passion by Huddersfield Choral Society Director , Gregory Batsleer, who will be joined by vocal coach Joyce Tindsley.

The internationally acclaimed counter-tenor and renowned Bach singer Iestyn Davies will be joining us to talk to us about his career and experiences of singing Bach.

Bach scholar and violinist Mark Seow (recently heard presenting BBC Radio 3's Early Music show) will also join to offer his perspective on the St John Passion and performing Bach's work.

We hope that you will join us for what promises to be a thoroughly rewarding afternoon.
