Looking to try something different? We would like to invite you to sing your heart out with Lumari as you learn some songs, chants and rounds together in a 3 or 4 part harmony. Lumari has over 30 years experience with singing and has directed 5 choirs and a multitude of workshops, including “Out of Africa” at BREC. Not only will this workshop give you the opportunity to meet some amazing people, singing will also lift your heart and the soul, leaving you with a bunch of happy feelings. Everyone is welcome, no singing experience is required. See you there!

We are inviting you to contribute to map and review of the ‘ecosystem’ of support services for innovation and entrepreneurship in the South West.
