NORVIS 50: Saturday 30th July – Saturday 6th August 2022
We are very sad to report that Alan Davis passed away this week. Alan was a renowned recorder teacher, composer and player, tutor at NORVIS for 40 years until 2018. A marvellous concert of his music at NORVIS in that year, organised by Jane Rumney, celebrated Alan’s contribution to the course and to the recorder world. Despite his loss of sight, he remained a demanding and wonderful teacher, committing so much to memory. His legacy is the playing and teaching of his many eminent students and his huge array of compositions.
Our condolences and love to Eira and to their family. Much fuller remembrances than this short note will follow in due course.
We want to remind you about the annual festival in London. How good that it is back to being face-to-face this year. Here’s their trailer video. It’s on from 10th – 13th November.
We are delighted to remind you that NORVIS will be taking place in 2022 from Saturday 30th July to Saturday 6th August at our new home, Barnard Castle School.
We will launch NORVIS more formally in November and will update the website with the 2022 details for music, the daily programme and how to apply to join the course as it becomes available over the next couple of months.
