Music Workshops
Music can unite people across denominational differences just as it can divide people within a Church. This page lists some opportunities for "pastoral musicians" - singers and instrumentalists who use music in the service of God and his people - to explore music from different traditions. Also listed here opportunities to sing music from different faith traditions.
The Fleet Singers - community choir which meets at Gospel Oak Methodist Church. The group, which happens to include a number of people from local churches, took part in the BBC's Mendelssohn Festival in May when about 60 choirs performed 'O for the Wings of a Dove'. And, in June 2009, joined children from Fleet School in a concert of Mendelssohn, Mozart, Byrd, Tallis and African jazz... Not strictly for "pastoral musicians" but we do a fair bit of religious music and support church and local community ventures.
