Camerata is the programme aimed at a chamber choir of expert, ambitious and high achieving singers. It is run over a weekend in a number of attractive locations. Each course features a wide-ranging repertoire which is different for each location. The cost is inclusive of the whole weekend, including refreshments and lunch.
Participants will be expected to prepare in advance. Due to the quantity and demanding nature of the music to be performed, no time is available for ‘note-bashing’. Your music will be sent in advance and some assistance will be available from this website to coincide with this.
