Monteverdi Choir Apprentices of 2014/15 rehearse Purcell with John Eliot Gardiner

Take a look behind the scenes as the Monteverdi Choir 2014/15 Apprentices prepare for their final concert in November 2015. Their final three-day workshop, at Springhead in Dorset, was a chance to work on individual performance with Sir John Eliot Gardiner as well as within the group.
In this clip, we hear some of the Apprentices rehearsing solos and duets by Henry Purcell.
Lost is my Quiet – Angela Hicks (Soprano) and Rory Carver (Tenor)
Close thine eyes – Jessica Cale (Soprano) and Jake Muffett (Bass)
Mad Bess of Bedlam (“From silent shades”) – Rebecca Hardwick (Soprano)
Supported by:
Oliver-John Ruthven (Harpsichord, alumnus of the Apprentice Programme 2010/11)

The three Monteverdi ensembles – the Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists and Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique – are a leading force on the international music scene. World-class musicians and singers from many nationalities come together to share in the distinctive vision of our Artistic Director, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, in ground-breaking projects that span eight centuries of musical masterpieces.

‘They represent British excellence on their tours abroad, and it is a great privilege to be Parton of such wonderful ambassadors for our country.’
