In celebration of all things vocal, Sense of Sound has decided to host a special Singing Masterclass. This rare treat will be presented by the artistic directors who are the brains behind the nationally acclaimed Sense of Sound Choir and are considered to be among the best and most inspirational vocal coaches in the country.
Sense of Sound has always understood that the art of great performance is not solely about technique, but also about instilling singers with passion, energy and, most importantly, confidence.
If you relish the opportunity to sing some amazing original choral arrangements, learn challenging new vocal techniques and have a fantastic experience, then please register your interest by contacting the office NOW!
This class will take place in LIVERPOOL on Saturday 5th July 2008 from 10am-4pm.
Price and venue TBC.

Following the Bafta Award-winning success of The Choir, the sequel The Choir – Boys Don’t Sing returns to BBC Two this week.
Featuring the highs and lows of ever-patient choirmaster Gareth Malone, the series follows Gareth as he tackles, in his usual head-on way, the task of teaching choral singing in Lancaster School – a large boys’-only state school in Leicester.
Sense of Sound was called upon to help inspire and encourage the boys’ participation. Members of Sense of Sound Choir spent a day in the school delivering workshops and performing alongside the boys. The 4 part series starts on BBC Two at 9pm on Friday 1st February. Sense of Sound will appear in episode three on BBC Two at 9pm on Friday 15th February so make sure you tune in to see what happened!

Sense of Sound’s latest commission by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic will be a reflection on the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2008 “Imagine…Remember, Reflect, React”.
This composition by Sense of Sound brings the startling and evocative voices of Sarajevo born singer Téa Hodzic and our own Sense of Sound Choir in a performance choreographed by Darren Suarez and directed by Paula Simms. Special guests include Kinetic Fallacy, Curtis Watt and Jonathan John.
Too easily we take for granted our right to have a voice and to express it freely. Through this thought-provoking new work, incorporating songs, music, movement and spoken word, Sense of Sound will explore how voices can be used to harm, heal, unify, celebrate and denounce.
Tickets £3 in advance available from Liverpool Philharmonic Hall or 0151 709 3789.
