SUMMARY:Pentecostal Polychoral Music with Mark Wilson on 12th September 2026

He specialises in historical bassoons and studied both dulcian and baroque bassoon with Andrew Watts and Ursula Leveaux. \nAside from his work with the English Wind Consort and his own baroque group\, Ensemble La Notte\, Mark also freelances as a period bassoonist with many UK-based early music ensembles\, including the Academy of Ancient Music\, the Musical and Amicable Society\, Instruments of Time and Truth\, and the Oxford Bach Soloists. \nMark also has a strong background in the world of choral music and for several years sung with the choirs of Worcester and Birmingham Cathedrals. In 2022 he was pleased to undertake the role of Director of Music at Pembroke College\, Oxford University. He also founded and directs the alumni choir of Oxford University\, Standish Consort. \n  \n  \nThe workshop will run from 10.30 till 5 with registration at 10.00\, lunch 1-2 (bring your own or use local pubs and cafes) and tea approx 3pm. \nThe venue – The Oddfellows Hall Stafford (https://www.oddfellows.co.uk/branches/mid-staffordshire-district-branch/) – is a recently-modernised\, church hall style building in Greengate Street in the centre of Stafford.
