Orlando Chamber Choir
Greg Skidmore, director

An exciting all-day early-music workshop directed by Greg Skidmore, one of the UK's leading consort and choral singers who has worked with The Tallis Scholars, The Sixteen, I Fagiolini, EXAUDI and many other distinguished ensembles. Greg, who was recently appointed Musical Director of the Lacock Scholars, selected six exquisite Renaissance works on which to train our ears and blend our voices. There will be a bring-your-own-picnic lunch in or near the church – and Orlando is renowned for its cakes as well as for its singing!

The workshop is open to all choral singers but sight-reading skills are a prerequisite. Advance booking is required.

The sheet music is available here - please use it in digital format or print your own copy to bring to the workshop. We made a Spotify playlist to whet the appetite.
