A Voyage of Renaissance Discovery | Holy Roman Empire Choral Workshop

Saturday, 14th July 2012 | 10:30-17:00 (Registration from 10:00)
St Mary's Church, Battersea, SW11 3NA
Workshop Cost: £40 (including break time refreshments and music)

There is a wealth of staggeringly beautiful polyphonic music hidden in the shadow of the great Renaissance composers. Sure, we all love a bit of Palestrina, Victoria and Byrd, but there's so much more to enjoy! In this choral workshop, we will be singing works by lesser-known composers Schütz, Sweelinck, Obrecht, Isaac and Clemens non Papa.

---

These composers are all drawn from the old 'Holy Roman Empire' - an empire which existed from 962-1806 in Central Europe, governed by Holy Roman Emperor. So if you want a new choral experience, join us on 14th July by signing up below.

Why a Platinum Choral Workshop?

1) We keep our groups small - around 35 - so that everyone receives the individual vocal attention they deserve.

2) We do not perform. We much prefer to explore the repertoire in a relaxed way, without having to worry about a concert at the end!

3) We serve the most beautiful homemade cakes and real coffee..... You decide!
