During the course of the day we will study, in depth, some of the finest of these. As well as conducting, Philip will give some historical and musical background to this fascinating repertoire. Philip Thorby is well known as one of the country's leading performers and teachers in the field of Renaissance and Baroque music. He is founder and Director of the Renaissance ensemble Musica Antiqua of London, which has remained at the forefront of research-based performance of early sixteenth-century music. As a recorder player, Philip's interests range widely. Two areas of special interest are sixteenth-century divisions (elaborate instrumental works based on vocal originals) and the music of early eighteenth-century London. In addition to his past work at Trinity College of Music, where he was Professor of Recorder and Senior Fellow in Early Music, Philip has worked in contemporary fields with artists including Sir Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, John Taverner and David Bedford. He teaches widely in England and abroad. The workshop fee is £12. Drinks and biscuits will be provided, but please bring a packed lunch. There are also cafés and restaurants within walking distance. All music will be provided. Please bring a music stand.
