Highgate Calendar – Public events in Highgate, London

Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced singer you’ll enjoy singing fabulous songs from the West End and training your voice at the same time. Take a look at a short video of workshop run by Idit.

In the first session of the workshop we’ll teach you basic breathing and vocal techniques and show you some performing skills which you’ll be using later in the singing session.

You’ll be coached individually as well as working with the group. Kieran and Idit will prepare you for a short performance at the end of the workshop. Once you book your place on the workshop we’ll email you the song sheets with web links so you can practise in advance.

Great fun, not to be missed! Find out more and book via our Workshops page.

wilde roses – an early music collaboration @ Lauderdale House

Tickets

Dec 19 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

wilde roses

Wilde Roses is an early music collaboration between singers, multi-instrumentalists, composers, dancers and performers Anna Tam and Emily Alice Ovenden who met whilst they were performing with the Mediaeval Baebes.

Musically and visually inspired by the medieval and renaissance world, we draw our repertoire from illuminated manuscripts, courtly song books, Elizabethan broadside ballads and the folk tradition. Fascinated by the stories in these songs – medieval religious imagery so beautifully infused with nature; renaissance tales of piracy, jilted lovers and general folly alongside some of the most sincere and tender love songs that reach to the heart of life and human relationships.

Anna Tam (musical director, singer, nyckelharpa, viola da gamba, hurdy gurdy player, percussion) enjoys and eclectic career both in the folk and classical genres. She trained as a classical singer and instrumentalist at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. During her early studies, she performed at the Wigmore Hall and on BBC Radio 3 and has been touring internationally since she was 15.

Emily Alice Ovenden (singer, recorders, percussion) received a scholarship from Andrew Lloyd Webber to study in London. With the Mediaeval Baebes she has made several albums, and recorded themes for BBC TV shows Victoria and Elizabeth. Emily made 3 acclaimed albums with her band PYTHIA and has recorded vocals for multi platinum selling band Dragonforce.
