York Musical Society's popular annual choral workshop took place at St Lawrence Parish Church, York, on 18 January 2025, with David Pipe leading singers of all abilities through John Rutter's A Sprig of Thyme — a warm and tuneful song cycle for chorus based on traditional English folk melodies. Open to all, the day-long session gave participants the chance to learn the work from scratch under professional direction, culminating in a short informal performance for family and friends.
