Malvern Hills are alive with the sound of music at festival of singing

FESTIVAL goers are in for a musical treat when the Great Malvern Festival of singing returns.

Set against the inspiring backdrop of the Malvern Hills, this immersive residential festival brings together outstanding musical leadership, renowned soloists, and singers from across the country for six unforgettable days of choral music-making, with public performances every evening

Following the extraordinary success of its inaugural year, the festival continues to offer something genuinely distinctive: not just great repertoire, but a transformative approach to singing.

This festival is not about simply getting the notes and dynamics right.

The whole purpose of the Great Malvern Festival of Singing is to help you sing with stronger, freer technique and with a much deeper understanding of text and musical meaning.

Through detailed, focused coaching, you will learn how to communicate more fully as a singer – individually and collectively – enabling performances of real intensity, clarity, and emotional impact.




The results speak for themselves: last year’s performances thrilled both singers and audiences alike.

The festival includes world-class singers, including Roderick Williams OBE, who performed  as a soloist at the coronation of King Charles III and at the Last Night of the Proms.


There will be an orchestra for one of the concerts, and three of the concerts will feature audiences of in excess of 100 singers.

They Shall Laugh and Sing is an organisation that seeks to help amateur singers to find fulfilment through better vocal technique and inspirational leadership, in order to give them the freedom to truly express themselves through music.
