Throughout 2012
In autumn 2011, we launched a new idea: Stratford East Singers, a singing group led by singer and vocal coach Byron Gold. It's open to everyone over 16, regardless of ability or experience and they will perform at a selection of 2012's biggest cultural events. To find out more about getting involved, click here.
Come and join Stratford East Singers and be part of:
