Workshop for singers
Tutor: Peter Syrus
For many, the music of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525/6-1594) represents the gold standard in ‘a cappella’ repertoire. In this workshop, Peter will compare six of his motets, including the popular ‘Super flumina Babylonis’ and ‘Tu es Petrus’, with settings of their texts by other 16th century composers, some well known (Andrea Gabrieli, Victoria), some less familiar (Francesco Bianciardi, Don Fernando de las Infantas). There is something for everyone in this workshop, all under the expert guidance of Peter Syrus, a regular NWEMF tutor and formerly on the staff at the RNCM.
If you are a NWEMF member, you can save £10 on the full cost of this workshop (and all future workshops for the coming year). Apply by 7 September for early bird discount.
