19th April 2008
The Festival will open at 10am for a 10.30 start and finish around 7.30pm, with plenty of opportunity for singing and socialising, and optional choir performances at the early evening concert.
Warwick Arts Centre
The Warwick Arts Centre is a world class music venue with excellent facilities including two cafés, a reasonably priced restaurant and a small supermarket. There is only a limited area set aside to eat packed lunches so it is hoped the majority of people will picnic outside in the beautiful grounds. There will be free car parking for the day.
Community Choirs
The Community Choirs Festival is open to any Community Choirs who wish to attend. The majority will be choirs led by Natural Voice Practitioners or run on lines sympathetic to Natural Voice principals. There are limited places so choirs will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.
