Experience the music of Purcell and his master Blow

Become part of the Day of the English Baroque and sing along! For the better part of their careers, composer John Blow and his student Henry Purcell served the royal family. Experience the majesty of royal choral classics by these British baroque masters with soprano Helen Ashby at the helm.

Soprano Helen Ashby sings in several of the UK’s leading choirs, including Stile Antico, Oxford Camerata, and The King’s Consort. She recently also started as a teacher for the choristers of Westminster Cathedral in London.

For more information and to apply, visit Organisatie Oude Muziek. Good to know: singing experience is required and the pre-selection is on the basis of a singing C.V.
