Conducting Workshop with Patrick Russill

Young choral conductors from around Sheffield together with the Choir of St John’s Ranmoor will be working with Professor Patrick Russill, Emeritus Head of Choral Conducting at the Royal Academy of Music and one of the leading choral conductors of his generation.

This is an open workshop and members of the public are welcome to come along to listen to all or part of the session which will conclude with an informal performance at around 4.30pm. You are welcome to drop in and out over the afternoon and refreshments will be served during the breaks (at approximately 2-2.30pm and 3.30-4.00pm)

The music for the afternoon will include beautiful polyphony by Clemens non Papa, Palestrina, Victoria and Morales as well as music by Howells, Amy Beach, Purcell, Rheinberger, Stanford and Monteverdi.

There is no charge but there will be an opportunity to make donations to help defray the costs of the workshop.
