Rolling Harmony is a vocal ensemble from the South West of England, blending a unique combination of artistic and vocal experience. We perform a diverse programme of music rooted in English and American harmony singing traditions, thriving on songs with sparkling lyrics, tight rhythms, and thrilling harmonies.

Rolling Harmony singing workshops are full of variety, fun and harmony, open to all and enjoyed by a wide range of singers. Singing workshops are led by Jane Harris and Claire Stronach with Rolling Harmony singers supporting each vocal part, providing a rewarding experience for workshop participants.

 


Rolling Harmony is continually evolving as an ensemble, exploring new repertoire and vocal styles. Formed by Jane Harris, Director of Songways in Bath, we bring together singers from Bath, Bradford on Avon, Shaftesbury and Taunton, united by a passion for vocal harmony and a love of performing.
