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!

Singers! We need you again! And everyone else too, of course!

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.
