We were delighted to welcome Philip Thorby back to Didsbury for a workshop on 22 March on the three choir Mass by Giovanni Valentini, Missa Diligam Te Domine a 12. Attended by 55 singers and instrumentalists, this workshop gave us a chance not only to perform this glorious but relatively unknown work, but Philip also gave us many fascinating insights into its background, as well as drilling down for a better understanding of the music itself in his own inimitable way.
A full review of the workshop will follow in a future newsletter.
