Music in the Round’s Singer-in-Residence, Roderick Williams, leads an exploration of storytelling, voice and Die schöne Müllerin for singers.

No previous knowledge or experience of singing Schubert required.

Through live performance, discussion and practical participation, this workshop will delve into how music and text combine to create compelling storytelling through song.

Using selected excerpts from the cycle, participants will have the opportunity to listen closely and sing with Roddy, explore the poetry and find meaning behind the music. The session will also include opportunities for audience participation, reflection and questions, making it suitable for singers, music enthusiasts and anyone curious about classical music and performance!
