L’Estranges in the Night

with Joanna & Alexander L’Estrange

Following the all day choral workshop, this is an opportunity to hear singers from across the North of England perform swing and jazz classics, and a second half which features two of the country’s leading musicians; former Swingle Singer Joanna Forbes L’Estrange and Composer/Bassist Alexander L’Estrange.

Joanna Forbes L’Estrange was Musical Director of The Swingles for seven years, and began coaching choirs and a cappella groups throughout the world. Joanna later founded and directed her own group AQUILA at St John’s College, Cambridge and is a presenter for the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), Leading Voices in Utrecht, the Association of British Choral Directors (ABCD) and for Voice Festival UK. Her expertise in the world of a cappella led to me judging for the Sky One television show SING: Ultimate A Cappella.

Alexander L’Estrange has led singers in choral workshops throughout the UK, from school halls to the Royal Albert Hall, and in the USA for the American Choral Directors Association as well as for the King’s Singers’ Summer School. His belief in the importance of singing in our schools and communities informs his compositions and, using these as a vehicle, he teaches choirs about rhythm, groove, style, audience communication, presentation and so much more.

Hosted by Sing Joyfully! & Kirkby Lonsdale Singers.
