Getting there

There is a car park at the school and there is a Bus (No 1) which regularly leaves from just outside the train station, Bristol Temple Meads, directly to the venue

Learn before you arrive

Your ticket includes 8 hours worth of online teaching masterclass for each of the voice parts of this entire work (RRP £60) led by Ben England BEM, where you can learn and rehearse your part before you attend the singing day. These sessions are delivered through YouTube, you can watch them as many times as you like and you can keep the access to these files forever. We are proud to offer this award-wining teaching, exclusively through Labrador Events and Choir of the Earth.

Additional Value

In addition to the day itself and the online masterclasses, you will also receive rehearsal tracks recorded by professional singers with each voice part louder than the others so you can rehearse your part.

Furthermore, you will also receive a link to the Concert Performance of Carmina Burana by Choir of the Earth (featuring piano and percussion by Ana England) alongside an English translation of the work.

Scores

A link to purchase the digital/printed score (Schott Edition) will be included (this is extra because the score is in copyright).

You must bring your own score as there will be no scores to borrow on the day.

Under 18s

Under 18s are welcome to both the Come and Sing and the Performance for free, however they must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event(s). Please see our safeguarding policy here.
