“An incomparable immersion into the workings of the English collegiate and cathedral choir experience. Access to the top choral conductors in England was second to none! Expertly planned and executed. Superb experience, exceeding all expectations. What an incredible gift you are providing for the choral world!”—Dr. Craig Jessop • former Music Director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir •
Professor of Music, Utah State University, USA
You are invited…
Come experience the vast riches of the most concentrated square mile of choral music-making on earth. The Cambridge Choral Summer Course welcomes select conductors and choral enthusiasts for a unique educational venture, a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life in Cambridge. This eight-day residential course features lectures, observations, singing, and interactions with the world’s leading conductors, practitioners, and choirs. Course members reside in Cambridge while various collegiate choirs are still in residence.
This course finds its roots in a similar course from the 1980’s, initiated and run by Joanne Rutter. We are grateful to Joanne and John Rutter for their support and encouragement in reviving the opportunity for choral musicians to again spend their summers studying in Cambridge.
King’s College Chapel
King’s College was founded and the chapel started under the direction of Henry VI in 1446. It was finished about 70 years later in 1515.
