Inside a rehearsal

Ninety minutes, no passengers.

Saturdays, 13:00–14:30 at Richmond & Putney Unitarian Church. Every session follows the same arc, from individual voice to full ensemble.

  1. Warm-up & technique

    Body, breath and voice. Healthy habits drilled every week.

  2. Part work

    Sections learn and secure their lines before anything is put together.

  3. Full ensemble

    Blend, balance and tuning across the whole Collective.

  4. Run & notes

    Performance-standard run-throughs with specific, actionable feedback.
