Story-Singers of the English Baroque

July 3 - 8 2023 in E’se’katik (Lunenburg, NS, Canada)

“Story-Singers of the English Baroque” is a weeklong program offered by Jonathon Adams at the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance (Lamp). Advanced voice students and professional singers may apply. This course will highlight the relationship between solo singer and continuo while exploring aspects of style, ornamentation and rhetoric.

The Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance (Lamp) is very proud to announce that in September 2022 Matthias McIntire joined us as our Composer-in-Residence. Matthias first came to Lamp as a participant in the 2018 Composition Academy where he impressed Artistic Director Burt Wathen with his fascinating and innovative music. As one of the most exciting new voices on the Canadian music scene, Matthias has been selected to return for a 10-month residency.
