Instruction

Studies will cover a variety of topics, including conducting, vocal pedagogy, chant, music history, etc. Members will attend rehearsals, observe demonstrations, and hear from conductors and scholars in interactive lectures. The famed King’s and St. John’s College Choirs will be in residence during the course.

Course members will form a choir to sing and study—honing their voices to sing Evensong and Compline during the week—a master conductor will lead in rehearsals to prepare.

We will venture outside Cambridge—to London and Ely. In London, we will be based at St. Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. We will also visit the magnificent cathedral of Ely.

The course will conclude with a banquet—in Cambridge called “Formal Hall.” Enter into the life of Cambridge fellows and students to participate in this venerable tradition.
