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. Our musical director is Andrew Fowler.
NORVIS XLIX – Saturday 27th July to Saturday 3rd August 2019
Details in due course.
- 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 large team of around 15 expert tutors, unusual for such courses.
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.
We want all participants to have a safe and happy time at NORVIS. You can refer to our policies page for more information.
