In this episode, we're talking about how to launch a new season of online sessions with creativity and inspiration.

One thing we can be certain of at the moment is uncertainty. Across the world, as we continue to navigate this pandemic, we are seeing constant change: a few steps forward, a couple of steps back. While we can’t know what lies ahead, a return to choir is now on the horizon for some of us.

In this episode, we're delighted to welcome composer and choir leader Vicky Jacobs. We talk about coming out of (and going back into!) lockdown, and creative ways to keep our choirs going.
