WORKSHOP DETAILS.
Mollie and Vic will consult with Madeline to choose a representative selection of Pat’s tunes encompassing most of the genres he composed in. They will explore interpretations of the tunes, with suggestions on accompaniment, and how to make the most of your instrument. All instruments are welcome. The music will be available in advance.
Following the afternoon tea break, we will have an informal concert, with performances from Mollie and Vic, and local community choir Village Voices singing some of Pat’s song arrangements. Plus yourselves showcasing the fruits of the day.
