The Northumbrian Recorder and Viol School (NORVIS) was founded as an annual summer school in Durham in 1971 by Layton and Christine Ring. It has flourished ever since, and has been under the musical leadership of Ralph Woodward for many years. We are delighted that, from 2017, our musical director is Andrew Fowler.

- Viol class with Jacqui Robertson-Wade
NORVIS covers a broad range of early music interests, welcoming viol-players, recorder-players, lutenists and baroque string enthusiasts as well as renaissance instrument and harpsichord players – not to mention solo and choral singers. There is a very generous provision of expert tutors.
But more than that, NORVIS is enjoyable, sociable and has a friendly rapport between tutors and participants.
As part of our charitable activity, we offer generous bursaries towards the tuition fees to encourage young people and others to participate in NORVIS.
