Music: Review: Birmingham Bach Choir, at The Oratory, Birmingham

Posted: 25 Nov 2011 12:00 AM PST

Over a cracking programme, the Birmingham Bach Choir displayed a wealth of qualities and gave a performance of which they should be truly proud. The static, a capella textures of John Tavener's Mother of God, and two works by American composer Eric Whitacre, placed big demands on breath-control and tuning. But the group met these superbly. Whitacre's ethereal Lux Aurumque shimmered in all the right places, but second on the bill did feel a tad early for this luminous show-stopper.

Pitching For Success: New and Old Ways of Presenting Creative Work

 

Date: Wednesday 1st February 2012

Time: 1:30-4:30pm

Venue: Garden Room, LCB Depot

 

 A few years ago there were limited ways to show people your creative work and a 'portfolio' inevitably meant something big and rectangular you struggled to get on the bus with. Now the digital age has given us so many options, it's hard to know what is the best way for our work and our clients. In this practical workshop, we'll experience and explore a wide range of modern ways of showing creative work, including presentation equipment, online communication tools, video, software and print resources.

 

Creative Business Mentor David James Ross will be leading the workshop. David is an inspirational trainer, lecturer and writer, and has extensive experience running courses for creative businessesand helping them succeed in pitching and presenting.
