Shoulder to Shoulder Workshop
Military Wives Choirs recently got all of their Scottish choirs and Musical Directors together for a Masterclass in vocal development and conducting.
It was a delight to see nearly 100 women impacted by their military connection come together to sing, share and support in the beautiful setting of Pitlochry. The workshop included opportunities for all of the choirs to sing together as an ensemble led by Artistic Director Hilary Davan Wetton, fantastic vocal coaching from Suzzie Vango, Shavani Rattan and Lizzie Drury from renowned a cappella vocal group Papagena and a brilliant vocal care session from our own Anna Bolton, all accompanied by accompanist Neil Metcalfe. Hilary also provided an incomparable Masterclass in conducting for those present. Each of our choirs provided a taste of their renditions of some of our core repertoire over lunch much to the delight of the other choirs and the intrigue of other guests staying in the Atholl Palace Hotel.
