Baroque Chamber

Play suites and sonatas for two or more instruments with continuo. You will need the necessary technique to deal with those Allegros! You can opt for a solo line (recorder, violin, etc), continuo bass (cello, bass viol, bassoon, even bass recorder), or keyboard.

A Due Chori

Two choir repertoire for four renaissance recorders at 4 foot and four viols.

Playing from Facsimile

Work on sixteenth-century music from original notation. There is no better way to connect with the composer, but you will need to have some experience in clefs, note-values, rests and ligatures to join a non-permanent group. If you are interested but are a beginner or unsure of your level, there will be two graded sessions on reading this notation during the 11.30 slots.

Renaissance Wind Group

For players of cornett, sackbut, crumhorn, curtal or other renaissance wind instruments – not including recorders!

Polychoral

An opportunity to work on a large-scale piece for instruments (and often voices) one-to-a-part. Open to viols, recorders and suitable renaissance wind instruments. Generally, larger sizes of instruments are particularly welcome.

Verse Anthem

One-to-a-part singers working with a consort of viols on music by composers such as Byrd, Gibbons or Tomkins.
