The
Consort Choir were treated to a choral conducting masterclass by Neil Ferris,
Associate Chorus Director of the London Symphony Chorus, on Thursday 9 February
2017.
There
were six active participants from Bedford School and Bedford Girls’ School,
many of whom were standing in front of a choir for the very first time.
They all made great progress during the session and experienced the thrill of
shaping music through gesture and breath. They also had a glimpse of the weight
of responsibility felt by a conductor when everyone is looking to you for
leadership!
