Come and Sing Haydn's "Nelson" Mass in Ryde - A Unique Choral Experience

If you love singing and are looking for an inspiring, high-quality choral experience, join us in Ryde on 15 February 2025 for a day of music-making like no other. This is not just a typical Come and Sing event - it is a fully immersive journey into one of Haydn's most thrilling choral works, the "Nelson" Mass.

What makes this day special? Preparation begins the moment you sign up. Unlike many sing-through days, you will receive expert teaching videos and professional rehearsal tracks in advance, allowing you to learn the music at your own pace before the big day. Whether you are a confident sight-reader or someone who prefers to learn by ear, these resources mean you will arrive feeling ready and excited to sing.

On the day itself, you will be guided by Ben England BEM, an award-winning conductor known for his passionate, engaging teaching style. Ben's workshops go beyond simply running through the notes - he brings the music to life, helping singers of all levels to refine their technique, understand the heart of the piece, and enjoy the thrill of singing with others. Accompanied by a fantastic pianist and professional soloists, you will spend the day building up to a full performance of the Mass in a free concert for friends, family, and the local community.

This event welcomes singers of all backgrounds, from seasoned choral enthusiasts to those looking to get back into singing in a friendly, supportive environment. The "Nelson" Mass is a dramatic, uplifting masterpiece, and this is your chance to be part of something truly special.

The event takes place at Ryde Methodist Church, a welcoming venue with excellent acoustics. Whether you are local to the Isle of Wight or planning a visit, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience a unique day of choral singing.
