    IMC Workshop: The 21st Century Art of Being a ‘Medieval’ Musician
    A Workshop for Singers and Musicians, directed by Belinda Sykes.
    The bulk of this workshop will draw upon the Cantigas de Santa Maria (13th century Spain) and the Laude Spirituali (14th century Italy) and will cover, through practical sessions and discussion:
    - Improvisation – vocal and instrumental - Minimal performance versus luxurious arrangement
    - Instrumentation/orchestration
    - Vocal techniques of the Balkans and Mediterranean.
    ‘Authentic’ medieval instruments not necessary - string instruments very welcome.
    Frame drums welcome, as well as quiet wind instruments.
    Workshop suitable for both beginners and experienced singers.
    Ability to sight-read not necessary – the material is as much taught by ear as from the page.
    Everyone will sing choruses (including instrumentalists) and there will be many opportunities for working on solos.
    Venue: Weetwood Hall, Leeds.
