Yale Voxtet coached in Scottish and English repertoire by two renowned musicians

After seven June U.K. performances of Bach’s Mass in B Minor with Yale Schola Cantorum, The Yale Voxtet, the ISM’s select group of eight singers who specialize in early music, oratorio, and art song, traveled to Scotland to take part in a workshop in Scottish and English repertoire. They were coached by Scottish Soprano, Mhairi Lawson in historical Scottish song, and by British conductor and early music expert, Nic McGegan, in repertoire by Handel and Purcell. It was an inspiring experience to work with musicians of such renown and with vast knowledge about interpretation and expression.

Following the workshop, the singers enjoyed a tour of Loch Lomond and The Scottish Highlands—a much-needed break after a demanding tour. After returning to the U.S., the Voxtet members are staying busy. Many are singing in early music festivals, summer opera productions, touring with church choirs and ensembles, and competing in voice competitions in the United States and Europe.
