Border Marches Early Music Forum
This site was last updated 5th November 2018
Our October workshop at St Michael and All Angels Church in Tenbury Wells fittingly included "Factum est Silentium", Dering's account of the angelic war in heaven against the Dragon.  Our tutor, Emma Gibbins, led us ably through a menagerie of Tudor pieces on the theme of beasts and birds. She also played for us on the church's fine Father Willis organ, with its splendidly dragon-decorated pipes.

  • We're organising a special workshop for players of both Baroque and modern string instruments on  Saturday, 24th November in Leominster. It's intended as an 'outreach' workshop and presents an ideal opportunity for players of modern instruments to discover Baroque techniques. It is already proving popular: all places for cellists at this workshop have already been filled.  If you are a cellist and you haven't yet booked but would like to be put on a waiting list in case a place becomes available, please contact Annie Nethercott on annie.nethercott@btconnect.com . There are still places for other string players, but do book soon to avoid disappointment! Click here for more information.
  • We're organising a very special workshop for singers and instrumentalists in March, which includes not only a workshop but also an optional dinner followed by a recital. Click here to find out more.
