Britten Workshops

Our first Britten workshop was a huge success - well done to all who took part. There are still some places for the Britten A Ceremony of Carols workshop on 27th November. Click here for more information.

Romantic and Beyond

We all had a wonderful time at our Romantic and Beyond workshop on 1st October. Some sublime singing, especially from the trio who formed the semi-chorus for Stanford's The Bluebird.  

An Enlightening Workshop

Our Age of Enlightenment workshop on 11th June was a resounding success, with all participants tired, content and musically enriched!  Don't miss out on our next workshop, Romantic and Beyond, on 1st October 2011.  Register your interest here.

Britten Workshops

Pleased to announce additional workshops - Britten Ceremony of Carols - on 19th and 27th November.  A chance for Sopranos and Altos to sing this wonderful music with a live harpist.

Renaissance Masters a Great Success
