Registration now open!

Join Amanda Markwick and Na’ama Lion for a weekend workshop focusing exclusively on the Renaissance flute consort. Celebrating Palestrina’s 500th birthday in 2025, the repertoire chosen for this weekend workshop will include his secular madrigals, as well as instrumental works by his contemporary Orlando di Lasso.

This year we will build on the experience from last year, and will provide playing opportunities for more advanced players as well as Renaissance-flute newcomers. Everyone is welcome!  Workshop extras include two mini-lectures on topics specifically related to the Renaissance flute, guided instruction on reading from 16th-century notation, and opportunities to try instruments by various makers.

Open to flutists with all levels of experience, from beginners on the Renaissance flute to already existing flute consorts.
