2025 WORKSHOPS
Our 2025 Workshop programme is now finalised, but changes may be made. Once applications are open for a particular workshop, there will be a separate page listed in the menu.
You can download an A5 flyer with a list of all our 2025 workshops here.
You can also leave feedback for any workshop attended here.
Reference to ‘soft instruments’ includes recorders, curtals and strings (both viols and modern strings), possibly sackbuts, but not usually cornets or ‘raspy’ winds, eg crumhorns. Modern bassoons and trombones are welcome to join in instrumental workshops alongside sackbuts and curtals/dulcians. Reference to ‘low recorders’ means those which are low enough to double voices at the same sounding pitch (usually alto/treble down), but specific requirements will be given for each workshop.
All workshops will be at A=440 pitch unless otherwise stated.
