Applications Open for Monteverdi Madrigals 2025
“Chris and Miriam are very fun to work with and knowledgeable - and obviously love working together too!” Previous student consort member
Following the success of IT&T’s Cozzolani programme in 2024 and of our ‘Divine Music’ and Schutz side-by-sides, applications are now open to join a Vocal Consort to sing as part of an exciting project exploring some of Monteverdi’s Madrigals.
Vocal Consort
IT&T are looking to offer this opportunity to student singers from all voice parts. Members of the consort will sing alongside professional soprano Miriam Allan with an expert continuo group of IT&T musicians, directed by Christopher Bucknall. Students will also have the opportunity for expert tuition from a renowned Italian vocal coach.
Guiding and coaching this group will be conductor and harpsichordist Christopher Bucknall and soprano Miriam Allan. This scheme is aimed at developing and inspiring Oxford’s finest student consort singers. We are looking for singers with interest in this repertoire and in consort singing, who are willing and able to be collaborative in rehearsal and performance and proactive musically.
Application Process
Note the rehearsal and performance dates on the information pack. You need to be available for all of these.
