Welcome
Welcome to Historically Informed Summer School 2026

We will be especially welcoming folk singers and instrumentalists in 2026 as we will not be clashing with the Whitby Folk Week!
Mikolai Zielinski’s Magnificat a 12 at HISS 2025
Singers! We need you again!
Last year the vocal ensemble enjoyed the music of Barbara Strozzi and Maddalena Casulana amongst others, with plenty of opportunities for solos and one to a part singing in rich and varied textures.
In 2026 with the large scale repertoire of Cavalli and de Lalande we will have, and need, voices across the whole spectrum from soprano to low bass for both solo and choral music of the Renaissance and Baroque.
Check out our reviews and comments from past participants here.
Have a look at our Gallery pages to see what we got up to in previous years!
