Our next stop on the Grand Tour is the New World. Manuscripts by the Spanish Renaissance composer, Morales, found themselves in the hands of New World composers such as Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla. This resulted in an exotic mix of perfect polyphonic harmonies and infectious Mexican South American rhythms. We will also sing the beautifully haunting Sleep by American composer, Eric Whitacre. Sign up for this workshop by filling in the form below. We looking forward to seeing you there!

Why a Platinum Choral Workshop?

"Doing a great deal to encourage choral singing" CLASSIC FM, 2012

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!
