Exploring Early Music

DON’T MISS THIS EXCITING OPPORTUNITY!

Echoing Air is teaming up with the University of Indianapolis to offer Exploring Early Music - an innovative summer Workshop - from June 20 - 26, 2027.

This unique enrichment program gives students a wonderful chance to work closely with a small chamber music ensemble experienced in early music. The six faculty members are all professional musicians and experts in the field. Steven Rickards, a countertenor, educator, and Founder and Artistic Director of Echoing Air Indianapolis, leads the faculty, which includes musicians from Echoing Air as well as outside voice teachers, stage directors, and instrumentalists.

During the week, students will learn music from the Baroque and Renaissance periods, accompanied by authentic historical instruments. Each day includes small group or individual lessons and personalized coaching to build confidence and joy in performance.

The workshop concludes with two public performances featuring both students and faculty.

Vocalists will work on solo and ensemble works to be performed during the final concerts.  This music is also suitable for auditions, competitions, and outside performances.

Instrumentalists may take lessons on recorder, Baroque flute, harpsichord, viola da gamba, or lute and will perform during the concerts.

The workshop will be on the beautiful University of Indianapolis campus. Students can either commute each day or stay in campus housing for an additional fee.

*Scholarships are available for the workshop.  Please contact slrickards@me.com for additional information.
