Choral Workshops and Coaching
Genesis Sixteen Consort Tutorials
Genesis Sixteen is a choral course for young singers from the ages of 18-23. We audition yearly for a group of singers who have four week long and weekend courses throughout the year, funded by the Genesis Foundation. I am one of the tutors leading sessions in consort singing, working on one to a part madrigal and polyphonic repertoire.
The Sixteen Chorister Workshops
In conjunction with our Choral Pilgrimage concerts, The Sixteen offer workshops to the choristers of the churches and cathedrals in which we perform.
I’ve led sessions all over the country, working with choirs in the Cathedrals of Truro, St Asaph’s, Blackburn, Manchester, Newcastle and the Minsters of Hull and Southwell.
The Gabrieli Consort ROAR coaching sessions
Gabrieli ROAR is a unique partnership between the Gabrieli Consort and a network of diverse British youth choirs. I have taken sessions in Bradford coaching the singers on works later performed in Ely Cathedral with the Gabrieli Consort.
ORA Singers Composer’s mentor
The choral ensemble ORA holds yearly choral composition competitions for young writers. From 2019 - 2022 I was asked to mentor 2 of the composers who were chosen to take part; helping them with their ideas and giving my input both as a singer and a composer. I also sing in workshops to help the composers with ideas about their pieces and perform the works in the final competition concerts.
