​WELCOME!

​

​Immerse yourself in three days of music-making under the direction of world-renowned baroque harpsichordist, artistic director, and composer Marco Vitale.

​

The Salt Spring Island 3-day Baroque Music Workshop is for singers and instrumentalists who are interested in learning about historically informed performance practice.  All students, amateurs, semi-professional and professional musicians who sing or play at an accomplished level are welcome.   The workshop will provide a casual, friendly, and supportive atmosphere in which participants can learn about baroque style.  Modern instruments A=440 will be used.

The  participants will study two works by Handel: Utrecht Te Deum, the first part of Handel's sacred choral composition Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate (1714), and his Concerto Grosso No. 3 Op. 3, one of a set of six Concerti Grossi compiled in 1734.  The workshop will include a concert by the instructors as the ensemble Contrasto Armonico, and will conclude with an informal concert for family and friends.  Please browse the site for more details.

I hope you can join us!
