SingTheScore EXTRA with Robert Hollingworth

Another in our popular series of webinars with Robert Hollingworth of I Fagiolini and a mystery guest. Robert is a natural chat show host and these Saturday mornings are always entertaining and informative. Robert will talk about the music he has chosen and you will have a chance to sing it through twice.

We are currently smack bang in the middle of Carnival – the period between Christmas and Lent so there will be a slight focus on that this week.  Feel free to bring a mask! We will sing another movement from the madrigal comedy ‘The little carnival party’ by Adriano Banchieri: – a ‘giustiniano’ – an old man’s song. To balance that another song from a comedy but a beautiful and quite involved lament: Vecchi’s ‘Ecco che piu non rest speranza.’ Really the most wonderful piece, translation on the score.

The full DVD of the masked show (with I Fagiolini and Simon Callow) can still be bought here: right back in 2003 but something they’re still proud of (and great fun) filmed LIVE at Dartington Summer School.

Music links will be sent out in advance when you book below.
