Saturday 23 October at St Swithin’s Church, The Paragon, Bath BA1 5LY
This was a day of sheer joy and inspiration, immersing ourselves in the rich harmonies, immense passion and exhilarating rhythms of black gospel music from America and South Africa.
The day was led by Tony Backhouse, one of the world’s most loved and respected choral leaders, whose passion for gospel music makes every song a joyful and liberating experience. In demand for his inspiring teaching style, Tony has run over 2000 vocal workshops since 1987: African-American spirituals, gospel songs old and new, choral and quartet styles, and South African gospel.. We are delighted to have hosted Tony’s first visit to Bath and look forward eagerly to his return in 2011. To receive details of future events, please join our mailing list.
