Why Sing?
We are delighted to announce Why Sing? — three conferences in 2017/18 which explore the evolution, and the physical, psychological and social benefits of singing from the Stone Age to the present day. The Evolution of Singing took place on Friday 28 April 2017 in the beautiful Church of the Order of St John - CLICK HERE to view the programme.
Details and dates for the next event, The Power of Singing: Religion, Revolution and Tribalism, and the final two-day conference, Singing Together: Wellbeing and Learning, will be announced in due course.
