One of the most prestigious and well-established summer schools for viol players in the land, our International Viol Summer School,
directed by Alison Crum, offers an invaluable chance for viol players of all ages with a particular interest in English consort music to work
with members of the world renowned Rose Consort of Viols for the best part of a week. There will also be optional sessions on several other
aspects of viol music, such as madrigals, consort songs, early renaissance repertoire and the art of continuo playing, as well as
lectures, demonstrations and a concert given by the tutors in the evening sessions. Those wishing to work in depth on repertoire of their
own choice will be able to do so in some sessions. We are looking for reasonably experienced players with good sight reading skills capable
of playing at least two sizes of viol.

articulate it through applying historically appropriate techniques. Please note that this is a course designed for ready-made groups and
