We are looking forward to the start of the course on Saturday. If you are new to NORVIS, a big friendly welcome.  We hope you will have a fantastic week and make many new friends.  If you are returning to NORVIS, it’s lovely to see you again.  Maybe you can help us welcome the new recruits?

Also a big welcome to our new strings tutor, Oliver Webber.

Here are the Norvis 2016 arrival details for participants in this year’s course. Also a map of the Hild and Bede campus, as well as maps of the Durham city and the university.

Now it’s time to pack your case, music, music stand and instruments!  See you on Saturday!

Thank you to everyone who has applied to join NORVIS this summer. The balance of your fees is due by cheque or bank transfer (see below) by 1st June, please. Late applications to join the course (after 1st June) will be considered on an individual basis, so please try to apply as soon as possible if you are still thinking about it.  We would love to see you in Durham.

See the JOIN NORVIS page for full details of how to pay.

We have a very good enrolment of participants for the wonderful annual NORVIS summer school in Durham. We would like some more lutenists and baroque string players, though.  So to avoid missing out, please investigate the NORVIS website.  We are sure you will enjoy the week with fantastic regular lute tutors Stewart McCoy and Martin Eastwell or our brand new baroque strings tutor Oliver Webber.   Here is a recent recording by Martin which you might like to hear.

We have had a very good number of bookings for NORVIS 2016, but there is still time to join.  Don’t miss out – we think you will really enjoy this week of Early Music-making.

We have a great programme set for our final concert on the last night of NORVIS 2016! All participants on the course are welcome to join in – to download the music list, see http://norvis.org.uk.
