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. We have been singing for 30 years!  Check our  Repertory List.  Directed by Stanford Professor William Mahrt, the retreats are now held in Albany. On  September 15-16, 2018 we sang Orlando di Lasso’s Missa Quand’io penso al martire (1569).  This new location brought in new singers and a good-sized audience!

Watch for announcement of our Spring 2019 gathering.

Scholarships are available for younger singers;  Contact Us for information.

Professor Mahrt combines intense singing sessions  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.
