​More details to follow later in the year.
​Tom Seligman is one of the UK's most exciting conducting talents, active across the operatic, choral, ballet and symphonic repertoire, a regular at the Royal Opera House and guest with the BBC Singers
and Symphony Chorus and Opernfest Berlin. Fresh from inspirational performances at the Dartington International Summer School and Festival, Tom returns to Devon for this day-long celebration of
choral music. An opportunity not to be missed!

About our workshops
​Our choral workshops are open to all singers (not just DCC members) - typically more than half of our attendees are drawn from outside the choir.

Works studied and performed in recent years have included Mozart's Requiem, Brahms' Requiem, Bach's St Matthew Passion, Handel's Israel in Egypt, Bach's Mass in B Minor, Monteverdi's Vespers, Bach's St John Passion Will Todd's Mass in Blue and Poulenc's Gloria. Our most recent workshop was Matthew Coleridge’s Requiem, conducted by Matthew himself.
The video below was recorded during our previous Matthew Coleridge workshop!
