Feedback for our webinars:
"I have been meaning to join abcd for about 20 years and seeing a friend's post on Facebook made my join the first webinar. I have been hooked ever since. I have a notebook full of ideas and questions and things to try. The webinars have been fascinating, insightful, challenging and thought provoking." Feedback from an attendee at our first webinar series
A series of free workshops and networking sessions just for our members, designed to help everyone prepare for the long-awaited return to our choirs and share their experiences when they do. Each session is one hour long, running on a variety of days and times, and each will include member-to-member networking time at the start, followed by a specific topic, so you can choose whether to attend the whole session, just meet to network, or just to hear about the chosen topic.
Full details are available to members here and booking details will be sent out each week
In light of the ongoing situation with coronavirus and the immediate postponement of our live activity, abcd, like many other charitable arts organisations, faces a difficult time. If you feel able to make a donation to help sustain the abcd community of staff and conductor tutors and to support the creation of innovative online resources, we would encourage you to do so here.
