As we look to welcoming The Tallis Scholars back to Beverley Minster, we invite singers of all ages to join choral director and musicologist Jo Wainwright for a workshop exploring one of the central pieces of the evening’s concert – Tomás Luis de Victoria’s exquisite Mass and motet ‘O magnum mysterium’. The workshop will shed light on Victoria’s ‘parody technique’ of composition and there will be a rare opportunity to sing from a facsimile of the original 1572 printed choirbook of the Mass. The workshop will finish with a short informal run-through for family and friends at 2pm.
A certain amount of choral experience and the ability to sight-read is helpful. Scores will be available online in advance to give everyone the chance to study the music and get the most out of the day. Tea and coffee will be served, but please bring a packed lunch for the break.
For any access requirements please email the Box Office on boxoffice@ncem.co.uk or leave a note on your booking.
Please note there is a £1.50 administration fee per transaction.
