A participation in music project aimed at getting more people involved in singing, this project brought inspirational voice tutor Juliet Russell to Norwich to lead four workshops, culminating in a performance at the UEA Studio, with a 10-piece community samba band and three professional brass players.  Samba instruction was provided by the very excellent, Pat Power.  Over 130 singers took part in the project, with over 100 performing in the final event.  The nature of the final event meant that by its end the audience had joined in with the choir and there were around 300 people singing.  Funded by the Baring Foundation and supported by Norwich LCSRB.
