The first online gathering of The Chorus – Classics for All’s network of young classicists.
On 7 December 2022, the student-led steering committee hosted the launch event for The Chorus. The event was a great success with students and young classicists attending from up and down the country.
At our inaugural forum, students had the opportunity to:
- hear from our guest speaker, the author and poet Clare Pollard, and participate in the Q&A
- connect with like-minded young classicists from across the UK and share your experience
- find out more about The Chorus, its mission, and how to get involved
