CeCelia Wickham Anderson is one fifth of a cappella group Black Voices. They will open the London a cappella festival 2019 with Laura Mvula and are without doubt one of the UK's top vocal groups, having toured internationally and worked with some of the greats of gospel and a cappella.
The workshop will cover gospel and African songs taught in harmony. No previous experience is necessary - all are welcome.
The workshop is hosted by Hannah Brine, conductor and founder of Victoria Park Singers, Kensington Singers and Finsbury Park Singers.
