Manchester Community Choir is organising a Corsican Music Workshop.
In this workshop we will learn a selection of three-part songs from the Mediterranean island ofCorsica, a land fêted for its unique polyphonic style, richly ornamented melodies and thrilling harmonies.

All songs will be taught by ear and will be spiced with images and stories from Caroline’s travels.
Bring your own food to share at the workshop.
