Recommended for confident  Choir Members, Amateur Performers & Theatre/Music  Students 

A 6 Day / 7 Night Singing Holiday at our luxury Spanish villa.  As usual, this vocal and performance retreat will be led by three Theatre and Music Industry professionals who will combine over 30 hours of singing tuition and performance rehearsal, provide a masterclass and mentor session with a lead performer, and give you the chance to sing & perform songs from America’s most innovative, influential and important composer and lyricist in modern Broadway history.

For more than 50 years, Stephen Sondheim set an unsurpassed standard of brilliance and artistic integrity in the musical theatre. His accolades included an Academy Award, eight Tony Awards (more than any other composer) including the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, multiple Grammy Awards, multiple Drama Desk awards and a Pulitzer Prize.

Delve into his mastery under the guidance of Sing Eat Retreat’s highly professional team. Retreat in the beauty of Southern Spain, and dine on amazing all inclusive food!

Classes will rotate between our three highly talented industry professionals which will take the form of group sessions, full ensemble classes and 1:1 sessions. 

It doesn’t end there!  As with all SERs, you will be joined by a celebrated performer for a masterclass and mentor session.

This Songheim holiday has been requested by numerous customers so places on this extraordinary holiday are limited and expected to sell out quickly.  Be sure to secure your spot and prepare for an unforgettable musical journey!

As always at Sing Eat Retreat, great fun and good food will be top of the agenda as you meet and work with a small group of new like-minded friends.
