ABCD Annual Convention

Event description

abcd's 33rd Annual Convention offers an inspirational weekend for singing leaders of all kinds of workshops, performances, trade exhibition and much more. Over 30 sessions are on offer, following five strands which weave through the programme: access and community; repertoire and style; technique; young choirs; and a bank of essential management and administration knowledge. Presenters include Charles MacDougall, Jenevora Williams, Susan Hollingworth, Em Whitfield Brooks, Paul Whittaker and Neil Ferris, along with organisations including Making Music, the Diocese of Leeds Schools Singing Programme and Opera North. Guest choirs include the NYCGB Boys’ Choir, Leeds Contemporary Singers and New Dublin Voices. A large trade exhibition runs through the weekend and there is also a Pre-Convention conducting course from 23-24 August. A Young Conductors’ course runs in parallel with Convention for anyone aged 18-25, with bursaries available.
