We are very excited to welcome South African diva Noni Nhlapo to Stafford, where she will show us some of the secrets of her country's rich choral music tradition.
From this website you can
Read more about Noni, and see her on YouTube
Stop press! Here is the link that we promissed to put on this website. |

The workshop will start at 7:30pm and end at approximately 9:45. Songs will be taught orally so there is no need to read music.
Noni will teach us some of her favourite songs from South Africa, and she will give us some help with pronunciation and style too. This is an excellent opportunity learn some South African songs from someone who knows them inside out!
