This summer sees the 9th annual chamber choir choral conducting workshop in the beautiful, unspoilt hilltop town of Sarteano, Italy - undoubtedly one of the favourite weeks of my musical year! I go back every time for the joy of sharing musical ideas with colleagues and friends in idyllic surroundings. The workshops and rehearsals are challenging but always fun, the landscape and food unbeatable, the enthusiasm and welcome of the townspeople irresistible. You can read more about it here: http://www.sarteanochoralworkshop.com/. I recommend this delightful week to everyone looking for the chance to make music in glorious surroundings where the company is convivial and the atmosphere beguiling!
