English Choral Experience
with Paul Spicer and Mark Opstad
Having successfully established their summer course at Abbey Dore in the UK over the last five years they are now expanding into promoting a course in Easter week in the south of France.  The music is mainly early and they include some French music by two pre-revolution composers from this area of France. It should make a really beautiful concert together with organ pieces played by Mark Opstad who is the accompanist for the course.
