FOLKESTONE BAROQUE CHOIR
Directed by Ross Winters

    This is a new choir starting in September 2012 in association with Folkestone Baroque. Folkestone Baroque is a specialist group of local musicians including Ross Winters, Ellen O’Dell, Floriane Peycelon, Sarah Boxall and Anthony Halstead which will be giving concerts of Baroque chamber music beginning at St. Leonard’s, Hythe on 15th September. It is hoped that the choir and the instrumental group might be able to combine on occasions.
    The choir will focus on smaller scale works by composers such as Buxtehude, Carissimi, Sweelinck, Schutz and Purcell as well as venturing into suitable cantatas by Bach.
    The aim would be to have about 32 singers with an interest in this repertoire and reasonable music reading skills though above all, it is hoped that it will be an enjoyable learning experience.
   The rehearsal day and venue are still being finalised but if you are interested in principle please let me know and I will keep you informed.
