Victoria – Palestrina – Byrd
Rupert Damerell
The Zenobia Summer Course in Ávila unites singers from around the globe to study and perform renaissance sacred music of the 15th and 16th centuries from Spain, Italy and England by the «Big Three» composers, respectively Victoria, Palestrina and Byrd, whose 400th anniversary we celebrate this year.
We shall enjoy a pilgrimage around some of Avila’s historic churches, giving three mini-concerts during the week – a tradition that has become popular and well attended by the Ávila public.
2022 Course final concert
The Course will start on Sunday 6th August 2023 at 16:30 and finish with a concert on Saturday 12th in the evening.
The course will take place in Avila, at the Colegio Mayor Magistral Honcala, http://magistralhoncala.com very close to the historic city centre. A former Seminary, now it is used as a university hall of residence, boasting all the facilities – teaching rooms, dining room, wifi throughout, recently refurbished sleeping areas, parking, etc.
There is full board accommodation in the Hall for those course students who wish it. The grounds have fine gardens and shady areas also to enjoy in family if you would like to come accompanied. In addition, it is very close to the centre of the city, with the historic and cultural heritage that this city enjoys. Ávila boasts a wide variety of hotels and other accommodation available to participants.
The participants do not have to reserve the lodging in the residence directly, in the case of staying there. The organisation of the course already has a block booking of rooms to allocate to the students who would like them. The lodging is paid directly to the residence and the price for full board is 54,04 euros/ day per person in a single room, and 51,64 euros/ day per person in a double room
