Brighton Festival is looking for 100-125 singers to perform as part of a special inter-choral choir for a large-scale, cross-art outdoor performance, featuring song, dance and physical theatre, as part of Brighton Festival 2017.

Lend your voice to a cutting-edge performance installation, celebrating myth, ritual and journeying.

The choral music is devised specifically for singers and choirs by composer/arranger, **Sam Glazer**, and draws inspiration from **Faure**, **Rilke** and **Ovid** as well as beautiful new music specially written for the project.

Singers from all walks of life and levels of musical experience are invited to take part in this event, either independently, as part of a small group or bring your whole choir along!

The music will be learned independently over 5 months (from January – May) and supported by regular rehearsals. You will need to be available for the majority of the rehearsals and all of the performance dates (details below).
