OUR MISSION
Renaissance Singers Retreat is an Affiliate of the San Francisco Early Music Society. The
Renaissance Singers Retreat brings together Bay Area singers for two weekends each year.
Directed by Stanford Professor William Mahrt, the retreats are held in the Conference Center at San Anselmo's San Francisco Theological Seminary. The next workshop will be on September 27-8, 2014.
Past workshops have explored sacred polyphony and chant by Renaissance composers from Josquin to Monteverdi. We have been singing for over 25 years! (Check our partial Repertory List.)
Scholarships are available for younger singers; Contact Us for information.
Intense singing sessions are balanced with short lectures on the music and its historical context. A public performance on Sunday at 4 p.m. concludes the workshop. Singers' Retreats are open to all singers with good sight-singing skills. Fees are nominal to cover tuition and materials.
