INTERNATIONAL COURSES

The Byrd International singers is a select group of singers from around the world that participate in Byrd Ensemble's annual Renaissance course. During a week of intensive singing through the exploration of Renaissance polyphony, singers refine the vocal and musical skills required for professional ensemble singing. The courses culminate in a recording and performance of the repertoire at the end of the week.
