Our 2025 Convention site is open!
Our 39th Convention is approaching very shortly! Our Convention site has the full timetable, as well as details of our presenters, exhibitors and lots of useful information about travel and our venue.
Join us for a weekend of workshops, repertoire, exhibition and networking for everyone who leads singing, whatever their experience. Come for a day, or come for the weekend.
Catch up with colleagues, meet new ones, browse new repertoire, brush up on skills with leading practitioners and take part in debate. Convention is for anyone and everyone involved in leading singers of any age. It’s a place where everyone is an equal, whatever their experience. Leading a choir can be lonely! Everyone is your colleague at Convention, whether you’re tentatively taking the first steps into leading singers, or you’re one of our best-known choral leaders and composers.
If you haven’t booked your place yet, do get your booking in soon – places are limited!
