Songsmiths with Ryan O’Riordian and Kirsty Martin!
Songsmiths with Ryan O’Riordian and Kirsty Martin!
Join choral composer and workshop leader Kirsty Martin for our brand new Songsmiths Workshop series or 2026! Kirsty teams up with some of the leading Natural Voice choral composers in the UK today for a series of workshops where you’ll be taught hot-off-the-press new choral songs…by the composers themselves!
For this Songsmiths, Kirsty will be joined by Ryan O’Riordian. Ryan O’Riordan is a London born choir leader and singer who believes deeply in the power of music to connect people and create community. He leads choirs and singing projects that lift spirits, bring people together, and make the world feel just a little smaller and more joyful.
The idea for Songsmiths is wholly inspired by Rosie Sleightholme’s Saturday Sings sessions – a huge thank you to Rosie for being so supportive and generous with her advice!
The adult fee for each session is a sliding scale from £50 – £35. This ensures that both Kirsty and her guest composer are fairly paid for their time (covering preparation, admin, composing, travel, and the workshop itself). To support this, there are three payment tiers for adult tickets:
Supporter – £50
General – £45
Low Income – £35
As well as this, we offer a £10 ticket to Young’ns from 13-25 years old and anyone even younger singers under 13 can come free with a singing adult!
If you’re in a position to contribute a little extra, the Supporter rate is hugely appreciated and helps to balance out the reduced Low Income places.
We also offer a couple of free CREW places on each workshop. This is to help with the welcome desk, the coffee breaks and the clearing up at the end. Please let us know if you’d like to apply for one for any of the workshops.
