Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme
Phillippe Herreweghe course director Dorothee Mields & Peter Kooij vocal coaches |
Philippe Herreweghe is rightly seen as a legendary figure in the world of baroque music: his innovative approach and constant curiosity has led to great acclaim as a conductor of repertoire from the Renaissance to the Romantic eras, working with some of the world’s greatest orchestra, with an extensive discography of more than 120 recordings. While the music of Bach is a core part of his musical life and on this course, he rehearses and conducts Britten-Pears Young Artists in a programme of Bach Cantatas.
He is joined by tutors from his Collegium Vocale Ghent, including Christine Busch (violin/upper strings), Ageet Zweistra (cello/continuo), Marcel Ponseele (oboe/woodwinds), Maude Gratton (organ/continuo), Christoph Siebert (chorus master). Bringing their distinctive style of small-scale forces they work with both the instrumental and vocal ensemble.
