Led by David Hill with members of the BBC Singers Featuring excerpts from Beethoven - Missa solemnis (Prom 67) As part of our Choral Sundays series this is a chance for adults (aged 16+) to come and spend the afternoon singing in a free two-hour session at the Royal College of Music. If you love powerful choral music and would like to be immersed in the work from tonight's Prom by singing some of it yourself, then come and join professional singers to rehearse a performance of movements from Beethoven's Missa solemnis. Ideal for enthusiastic amateur singers aged 16-plus. All voice types and skill-levels welcome, members of the BBC Singers will be there to give you a helping hand!
