Public Workshop
Perfect, Powerful Palestrina!
Our Musical Director, Greg Skidmore, one of the UK's leading professional performers of choral music from the Renaissance, will lead a workshop focussing on the wonderful music of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. We celebrate Palestrina's 500th birthday this year, so come and join us as we get to know his amazing music. Greg will choose a wide range of unaccompanied choral works, showcasing the under-appreciated breadth of Palestrina's style.

Brighton Consort presents four or five concerts each year in Brighton and the surrounding area. In addition, we help to further knowledge of renaissance and early baroque music by running occasional workshops, which are led by some of the U.K.'s greatest experts on the repertoire.
Our musical director, Greg Skidmore, was appointed in August 2021 to succeed James Dixon.
Greg is well known as an expert in the interpretation of Renaissance vocal music and he has a high profile as a performer with prestigious groups such as The Tallis Scholars, I Fagiolini, The Sixteen, Ex Cathedra, Alamire, Tenebrae, and Contrapunctus. He brings to the choir a wealth of experience and great ideas for our future.
At this important stage in the development of Brighton Consort the choir is keen to recruit new members with a love for this style of music. Anyone interested is invited to email us on info@brightonconsort.org.uk for more details. We currently have vacancies in all voice parts.
