We are currently looking for vocalists to join our ensemble for a performance on the 14th of November 2025.
The vocal ensemble will perform with a saxophone-organ duo, music by Eva-Maria Houben (non pleurer mais rêver 3, 2025), Emmanuelle Waeckerlé (Timeless songs for our times, 2025) and Artur Vidal (Liquid Algorithms, 2025).
The ensemble is open to all and there is no need to have professional training as a vocalist.
The performance will take place at St James Garlickhythe, a church located by the Thames in the city of London (Garlick Hill, London EC4V 2AF) on the 14th of November from 7 pm to 9 pm.
