CCO at Home - during the pandemic

While theatres remained closed, we thought creatively about how to engage with you, our audiences, and our freelance artists, and launched a weekly CCO at Home series.

So many of you were so generous during this challenging time with donations and purchases in our online shop, every penny of which has gone towards our Artist and Team Fund, which gifted over £10,000 to freelancers indeed.  As a way of saying thank you, our artists and team members put their heads together to create some enjoyable, informative, and in some cases interactive online resources for you to get involved with, drawing on their skills and hobbies.

These included Cooking and Craft videos, Choral Workshops Online led by English National Opera's chorus master Mark Biggins, Mini recitals and even an introduction to Reflexology.

We also ran (and are still running) a Dial-a-song service, through which you can write to us to arrange for one of our singers to call you, or someone you care about, who misses the sound of singing, or just human connection, for a 5-10 minute chat, and to sing a song or aria.
​We are still running this service, and details can be found at the bottom of this page.


Below are some of the resources our artists created, for your continued enjoyment.

DIAL-A-SONG

We know that so many are alone, missing other people and music at this time, and we’ve been looking for ways to help. So we’ve come up with Dial-a-song.  

Write to us via the link below to arrange for one of our singers to call you, or someone you care about, who misses the sound of singing, or just human connection, for a 5-10 minute chat, and to sing a song or aria. The call can be on the phone or with Zoom, and if there’s a particular song you’d like to here, we’ll do our best to arrange that for you.

It’s a pay what you can service (and that includes nothing), with a suggested donation of £20. All proceeds with go into our fund to support our artists and teams through this time.
