with Robert Hollingworth
Suitable for good sight-readers
The Lea Singers host a one-day workshop with conductor/broadcaster Robert Hollingworth on Tallis’s extraordinary 40-part motet, Spem in alium. Symphonic in its proportions and conception (it is scored for 8 choirs), Spem in alium is Tallis’s greatest masterpiece and one of the finest compositions written for the English church.
Registration starts at 9.45am, lunch is from 1-2pm and at 5pm family and friends are invited to join us for a short ‘surround sound’ performance of the work. Hot drinks and the music will be provided but please remember to bring a picnic for lunch. To book your place contact Grace Hill on 01582 622892 hilljgj@ntlworld.com .
