Fancy stretching your vocal chords and performing at Hull Jazz Festival this July?
Acclaimed vocalist Cleveland Watkiss MBE is making a very welcome return to Hull in July, performing his stunning a cappella show VocalSuite.
He’ll be joined on the night by members of Hull’s Freedom Chorus. They’ll start the evening by performing a new piece What if…?, written for and with choir members by singer songwriter Em Whitfield Brooks. They’ll then be joining Cleveland on stage for a one-off performance of VocalSuite, unique to Hull.
Interested in taking part?
This performance marks the culmination of a project for chorus members, led by Cleveland Watkiss and assisted by Em Whitfield Brooks.
