While our iconic venues are closed as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak, Community Spirit workshops continue online.

She has been involved with vocal groups and choirs for over 25 years and has been instrumental in drawing together and conducting some of the most prestigious large-scale choirs for a variety of gospel and community initiatives.
Join Liz Swain on Saturday 27 February at 10am. Liz is an internationally recognised solo and choral vocalist and choral director, rapidly becoming a mainstay of the UK’s burgeoning choral scene.
She is now known for her work across a range of genres including jazz, classical, pop, gospel, funk and hip hop, directing and performing at some of the world’s best-known concert halls and venues.
Community Spirit is a project run by Town Hall Symphony Hall in partnership with THSH Associate Artists, Black Voices. The project offers local community choirs the opportunity to share repertoire and perform as a collective in a large-scale concert in Symphony Hall.
