Run by Singers Summer School in Assisi
This year, the popular Run by Singers Assisi Summer School directed by Jeremy Jackman moves to a new date in the early summer. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the plains of Umbria , Assisi , the city of Giotto and St Francis, is a place of picturesque alleyways, steps, churches, bells and pilgrims. Now in its sixth year, the course runs from Sunday evening, when we meet for some introductions and an informal supper, to the following Friday evening where we perform our new repertoire at a concert in one of Assisi ’s magnificent cathedrals.
This year’s programme has at its heart Palestrina’s Missa Tertia, and we will also be studying some beautiful Mendelssohn part-songs and exploring English motets from the 16th to the 21st centuries.

Run by Singers – Another Taste of Venice
This year Jeremy will direct a second course for Run By Singers, in Conegliano near Venice , culminating in a concert in Conegliano Cathedral as part of the Summer Arts Festival there on the Friday evening, and with the additional excitement of singing at Mass in the Basilica of St Mark’s in Venice ! The programme combines some of the best Venetian choral writing (Monteverdi, Lotti, Gabrieli) complemented with music from other traditions from Byrd to Brahms and Rachmaninov.
