Nino Raphael

Kent born and New Zealand raised Song Leader Nino Raphael now lives in Manchester and is doing his first public workshop at the invitation of the Manchester Community Choir.

Sing-a-long Around the World will be a full day workshop of singing with Raphael's staple energetic style. With warmups and exercises that can support the voice - for beginners and keen experts.

The choices of songs will be taught through call and response and include a variety of songs from Aotearoa (New Zealand), Madagascar, South Africa, Croatia, Brazil and the UK. Do not miss an exciting opportunity to be immersed in a rich variety of culture through song.

Raphael's work extends from Performing and facilitating Opera, Musical theatre and community arts.
