Fauré on Tour

Fauré on Tour - Come and Sing at Saint-Sulpice

Whether you are an experienced singer or not, come and join FISP for our first international Come and Sing, singing Fauré's magnificent Requiem. As with all FISP courses, workshops and events, the day will be spent focusing on singing technique, musicianship, and most importantly, enjoying the day amongst like-minded friends (new and old), striving for the utmost musicality to conclude with a performance of the work.
