Welcome
Sherborne Summer School of Music was founded in 1952 as the Canford Summer School of Music, a name it
retained for the next 52 years before relocating to Sherborne School in the pretty medieval market town of Sherborne
in Dorset.
It is the ideal venue for adult musicians of all ages and abilities to meet in a friendly, supportive atmosphere where they
can enhance their craft through the help of dedicated, internationally renowned teachers and performers. Dating back
as far as the 8th century, Sherborne School is full of musical potential; it is dominated by the magnificent Sherborne
Abbey and also boasts a state-of-the-art music school, a theatre, recital and concert halls and user-friendly rehearsal
spaces.
To complement your hard work, an award winning catering team provide sumptuous meals, there is a spacious bar,
various social activities, and, during the two weeks, 30 concerts (Concertfest), given by both professionals and
students.
Sherborne Summer School of Music moves you out of the real world and submerges you in the sheer pleasure of
making music (or even painting musicians, if that is your interest) and socialising with other like-minded people.
Singers, instrumentalists, conductors, artists, composers and pianists all meet with the intention of immersing
themselves in the luxury of one or two weeks’ dedicated musical indulgence! So why not join us - soak up the
atmosphere, forge new friendships, play and sing beautiful music and hear breathtaking concerts and recitals in the
most perfect musical setting.

Week One
James Davey accompanist Ben Comeau
If you are a keen chamber choir singer and would enjoy a week studying and performing some
singularly beautiful music, then this is the course for you. The choir is limited to between thirty
and forty members and places are subject to the balance of voices. The repertoire ranges from
the beautiful Palestrina Sicut Cervus to the colourful Ubi Caritas et amor by Mack Wilberg - some
of it will be familiar, whilst other works will be eye and ear openers though immediately
accessible and memorable. A concert of pieces selected from the list will be given at the end of
the week.
Where possible pre-preparation of the music is advisable. However the music will be on
sale in the school music shop and if not already done so should be acquired before the first
session.
James Davey is one of the UK’s most distinguished and respected young choral
directors in demand for his work as conductor, choir trainer, choral education
practitioner, arranger and adjudicator. A graduate of the Birmingham
Conservatoire and Roehampton University where he gained his MA in Choral
Education, James studied with eminent choral figures, including, Peter Broadbent,
Therees Hibbard, Mike Brewer, Paul Spicer, Ralph Allwood and Bob Chilcott. He
has since returned to teach conducting for both Roehampton and the ABCD and is
on the ABCD’s Council of Practitioners. Formerly chief choral advisor for the
BBC’s sheet music archives, he has delivered projects for the BBC Singers
Education Department as workshop leader and mentor, as well as regularly
conducting and presenting choirs for broadcasts on TV and Radio. At the heart of
his busy schedule James is Music Director for Chantage - BBC Radio 3 Choir of
the Year 2006 (which he founded in 1999 whilst Music Assistant at St Paul’s Cathedral School), the Chandos
Chamber Choir, the Aylesbury Festival Choir, the Fleet Singers and a number of work-place choirs including 4Tunes
(Channel 4’s staff choir) and Gleemantle (Fremantle’s staff choir). James is also Chief Music Consultant and
workshop leader for the Music Of Life Foundation, a charity giving children with special needs opportunities to learn
and perform with professional musicians. He is also a choir trainer and tutor for ARK Schools, the Royal College of
Music Junior Department and Trinity College of Music, a guest conductor for the National Youth Choirs of Great
Britain and a tutor for the Ingenium Academy.
Ben Comeau has just graduated from Cambridge where he was Senior Organ Scholar at Girton College. He has

John Georgiadis began playing the violin at the age of six, later studying at the Royal Academy of Music
with Frederick Grinke. Two years as leader of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra were followed by eleven
years leading the London Symphony Orchestra in two periods between 1965 and 1979. As a violinist John appeared
regularly as a soloist and recitalist both in the concert hall and on recordings, and from 1986 he led the Gabrieli String
Quartet. In the mid 1970’s he took his first steps as a conductor, later studying for eight years with the legendary
Romanian conductor and teacher Sergiu Celibidache. This led to a new career that took him all over the world working
and recording with many great orchestras including the LSO, LPO, RPO, BBC Concert Orchestra, Bangkok
Symphony and the Malaysian Philharmonic. Positions held include directing the London Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra,
the Bristol Sinfonia and Music Director of the Bangkok Symphony. His work with young musicians has included being
director of orchestral studies at the Royal Academy of Music and for more than a decade the conductor of the Essex
County Youth Orchestra. He is an ardent Bruckner fan and has made a speciality of Viennese music, indeed his
annual New Year’s Concerts at the Barbican now number into the mid thirties and his CD recordings of Viennese
music still top the sales charts! In 2008 he formed the Cinque Ports Ensemble in association with the Deal Festival
whilst 2010 saw the end of his career as a violinist enabling him to concentrate solely on conducting which continues
to take him both countrywide and worldwide.

Mixed Chamber Music
Members of the Delmé String Quartet
with Sarah Francis oboe
and Wendy Phillips bassoon
All the works will be studied in three fully tutored separate
sessions each day and where possible requests for specific pieces will try to be met. Impromptu
playing will also be encouraged and there may be opportunities to rehearse and perform with
other participants in the school, for example with singers or in larger ensembles.
Applications are invited from individuals or pre-formed ensembles playing violin, viola, cello,
double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn and keyboard. Applicants should have a
minimum of grade 8 or equivalent. In order to achieve a reasonable balance of instruments, the
decision as to who is accepted onto the course will be at the sole discretion of the course tutors.
The Delmé String Quartet was formed in 1962 and over the past four decades has performed and broadcast to great
acclaim in all the major international concert and recital halls. They have appeared at the foremost European festivals
including Saltzburg and Prague where they gave the Dvorak birthday concert. The quartet are particularly recognised
for their authoritative performances and their breathtaking CD recordings which include premiere recordings of
substantial works by many important contemporary composers.
Sarah Francis has an international reputation as an oboist and leading chamber music player. She has broadcast
and appeared regularly as a soloist in the South Bank Concert Halls and at the BBC Henry Wood Promenade
Concerts. Her recordings of English chamber music with the Delmé Quartet have achieved great acclaim and include
Britten’s Phantasy Quartet and Six Metamorphoses after Ovid which she studied with Britten and which he invited her
to play at the Aldeburgh Festival. Sarah taught for many years at the Royal College of Music and has given
masterclasses in conservatories in Moscow, Amsterdam, Geneva, the Cologne Hochschule, the Royal Danish
Academy and at Melbourne University. Sarah is a Fellow of the Royal College of Music and has served as a juror on
the panel of the Prague Spring Oboe Competition.
After studying in London Wendy Phillips took up a prestigious bassoon position with the London Sinfonietta. She was
a founding member of the Koenig Ensemble, a member of the Emporer Ensemble and Primavera as well as
performing with many other groups including the Endymion Ensemble, Sinfonia 21, the Fires of London and the
Dartington Quartet. During her varied career she has been guest principal bassoon with the LPO, RPO, the
Philharmonia, English Chamber Orchestra, Academy of St. Martin’s in the Fields, the Thames Chamber Orchestra
and the BBC orchestras as well as many regional orchestras and Opera and Ballet companies. She has performed as
a soloist on the South Bank and recently at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford.

2 - 9 August
A course where keen chamber music players can work and

Masterclass for Singers I
‘Exploring your Voice’
Mary King course director
David Elwin senior répétiteur and vocal coach
Keval Shah répétiteur
2 - 9 August
This course will concentrate on three main performing skills: technique, style and communication.
It is open to confident singers of all levels - whether students, teachers, non-specialists or
aspiring professionals. It will examine the fundamentals of good technique (including breathing,
tone, articulation and projection), with the intention of giving students the pleasure of developing
skills and through them the consistency which is the aim of all good singing. Exploration will be
made of more than one musical style, learning to adapt tone and phrasing according to the
demands of the genre. We will also look at what makes a confident performer and an effective
communicator.
All students should bring four or five pieces of their own choice to work on during the week - they
can be from either the classical canon or music theatre. Please ensure that you include in your
choices:
• Songs in English (both music theatre and classical).
• One song in a foreign language (classical singers only).
• Two songs that are short - 3 minutes is an ideal length.
• Two songs that you have memorised.
The songs you choose should be in a variety of speeds and periods of music (classical singers
should bring one song that is an example of Arie Antiche and/or from the Baroque period). Most
importantly, please bring songs that you love to sing and that are within your vocal range and
technical capability. Also, please remember to provide copies of all your songs for the
accompanist and tutor.
The course will give two public concerts at the end of the week. The selection of pieces and
participants for these concerts will be at the discretion of the course director and her professional
colleagues. The class will be limited to twenty participating students, observers are also
welcome.
After taking a degree in English, Mary King studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, since when she has
had a long career as an opera and concert singer performing with the world’s leading orchestras and opera
companies. As an Artistic Associate at English National Opera, she designed and led with great acclaim a course for
aspiring professional singers called The Knack which ran for twelve years. She was the instigator and director of
Voicelab at the Southbank Centre and was involved in all aspects of vocal work, from casting professional shows to
directing a wide variety of vocal groups in a vast range of repertoire which encompassed everything from Beethoven
to Bellowhead. Now freelance again, she works as voice coach to numerous West End Musicals (Urinetown; Wicked;
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; Once; The Commitments) as well as teaching at the major Conservatoires and
Performing Arts schools and in her own private studio. She mixes teaching with broadcasting (Operatunity, Musicality,
Cardiff Singer of the World and Choir of the Year for television and numerous programmes for radio including The
Choir, weekend radio 3 shows and presenting for Opera on 3). She is also the author of a series of vocal coaching
books for Boosey and Hawkes (Singing in English; Singing in French; Singing in German) and The Singer’s Handbook
published by Faber Music. Mary is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Northern College of Music and the Rose Bruford
College.

2 - 9 August
This orchestral conducting course is intended to fulfil the requirements of the established
musician who wishes to gain and build basic technical and interpretive conducting skills. It would
also form an ideal preparatory course for the conductors’ course taking place in week two of the
summer school.
The emphasis will be on practical work for all, including regular sessions on baton technique,
score preparation and rehearsal technique. Observers are encouraged and are involved in many
aspects of the course including the technique classes, but do not receive individual tuition. It is
hoped to form, from within the class, an instrumental ensemble to facilitate practical work and to
this end all orchestral instrumentalists, be they participants or observers, are encouraged to
bring their instruments. Provision will also be made for extra sessions with a larger orchestra.
Private lessons in score learning skills will also be available from John Longstaff, bookable at the
summer school through the summer school office. In all cases, the nature of the work assigned
will be at the discretion of the course director. It is recommended that students prepare the
repertoire thoroughly before commencement of the course.
BASBWE Wind Conducting Course
In association with the BASBWE Education Trust
2 - 9 August
Mark Heron, Bjørn Sagstad with guest tutor Cynthia Johnston Turner
This internationally recognised course is for conductors at intermediate and advanced levels with
an interest in wind repertoire, or a desire to immerse themselves in issues relating to conducting
wind and brass instruments. Up to twenty-five students will be accepted as "active" participants.
Observers are also encouraged and will be fully involved in the course, but they will only conduct
at the discretion of the tutors. An integral feature of the course is that all active participants
receive podium time with an ensemble each day and a performance opportunity at the end of the
week. The course will begin at 14.30 on Sunday afternoon in order that all participants have the
opportunity to conduct on the first day.
Participants will explore the physical language, score preparation, rehearsal technique and
repertoire knowledge. All conducting sessions are videoed by camcorder and students are asked
to bring with them a suitable memory card in order to create a record of their work, this will also
be used for regular review sessions during the week. The course runs concurrently with the Wind
Ensemble Course and there will be close liaison between the two including the
opportunity for selected participants to work with that ensemble. All participants should bring with
them any instruments they play in order to accommodate ensemble work within the class. (If for
any reason you are unable to bring your instrument(s), please let the summer school office know
when you enrol). Students should, as a minimum, prepare thoroughly the works marked with an
asterisk before commencement of the course. You may then wish to select further pieces from
the remaining repertoire - it is usually more beneficial to know some of the music well, than all of
it not so well. More experienced students may also wish to prepare works from the
Wind Ensemble repertoire list.

2 - 9 August
Applicants are asked to note any “doubling” instruments they play and can bring (e.g. Cor
Anglais, Alto Clarinet etc.) on their application form.
Choral Workshop I
Bruckner, Mass in F
James Davey
To start the first week of our 2015 school, James Davey will direct an open rehearsal with
orchestra of excerpts from Bruckner’s Mass in F [copies provided]. It will take place on the
first evening (Sunday 2nd August). All members of the summer school are welcome to
participate.
Composers’ Workshop
2 - 9 August
Malcolm Singer
The Composers' Workshop is intended for composers of all ages and standards, including
student composers from the music colleges and universities, as well as keen amateurs.
Applicants should send an example of their own work with their application form. Once
accepted for the course, students will be asked to complete a short composition project before
arriving at the school. On the course itself, it is hoped that participants will have the
opportunity to hear their music played in workshops.
Time will also be devoted to the study of new music by leading composers and to the
examination of many aesthetic aspects of the music of today. The course may also embrace
some points of improvisation and thus proficiency on an instrument is desirable though not
essential.
Malcolm Singer, composer and conductor, is Director of Music at
the Yehudi Menuhin School and a Professor of Composition at the
Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He read music at
Magdalene College, Cambridge before studying in Europe with both
Nadia Boulanger and Gyorgy Ligeti. He was later awarded a
Harkness Fellowship, spending two years at Stanford University,
California. Malcolm’s compositions include Making Music, a
commission by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Kaddish for 24
solo voices written for the BBC Singers. A Hopeful Place was
conducted by Lord Menuhin in the Royal Albert Hall, London and his
children’s cantata Dragons (to poems by Nick Toczek) is published
by Music Sales, London. Chamber works include a Quartet for
Strings, a Nonet for Strings, a piano quartet ‘The Grammar of
Hope’ and a recent Piano Trio. His opera The Jailer’s Tale was
premiered by the Finchley Children’s Music Group in 2010 and
recent works include a piece for 2 pianos 8 hands and a piece for
chamber organ and double string quintet which was premiered by

instrumental and conducting classes, seminars and
performances, all enabling artists to acquire a relaxed
familiarity with their subject. Studio facilities in the
school will provide opportunities to develop more
ambitious works from these sessions in a variety of
medium and scale. Practical studies and studio
discussions will be supplemented with the study of the
work of other artists, both contemporary and historic,
who have interpreted musical subjects or captured live
performance.

Week Two
Voices in Harmony
“Ditch the Dots”
9 - 16 August
Wendy Sergeant
Harmony singing – for the joy of it! This is a course for people who want to learn how to sing
unaccompanied and in harmony without using sheet music.
It is suitable for people who love to sing but don’t read music and also for those who can read
music but want to “ditch the dots” and experience the freedom and challenge of learning
harmonies by ear.
Wendy’s up-beat inspirational teaching style helps both tentative and confident singers to work
together, find their voices and enjoy the thrill of singing. Her sessions always involve as much
laughter as singing! The sessions start with a physical and vocal warm up followed by one or two
easy songs progressing to more complicated pieces. Wendy works on singing technique with all
participants helping them to make the best of their voices and promoting vocal health.
The course will aim to sing a great variety of music; pop songs, world music, spirituals, classical,
jazz and perform in an informal concert at the end of the week.
Wendy Sergeant is a well known Bristol based community choir leader, arranger and performer. She directs two
large community choirs and daytime singing groups in and around North Somerset and singing workshops across the
UK. Wendy has been teaching singing since 1998 and has a reputation for her inspiring lessons, she also performs
regularly with “The Croutons” vocal trio. Wendy studied the Estelle Singing Technique and uses this to help singers
maintain vocal health whist making the most of their voices. She is passionate about the benefits of singing and runs
a weekly “Singing for the Brain” group for people with dementia funded by the Alzheimer’s Society. She also runs a
choir for cancer patients and their relatives (plus staff and volunteers) at Penny Brohn Cancer Care, Pill, Bristol.

After stepping in at short notice to conduct the
Symphony Orchestra last year to great acclaim, Robert
Houlihan returns by popular demand to direct a stunning
programme of romantic and twentieth-century orchestral
masterpieces. The orchestra is also fortunate to have
the distinguished violinist Oliver Nelson join them to play

Robert Houlihan Since winning awards at the Besançon International Competition in France and the Hungarian
Television International Conductors’ Competition, Robert’s career has taken him to orchestras in France,
Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Mexico, Venezuela and South
Africa. From 1981 until 2002 he was principal conductor at the Municipal Theatre in Metz as well as frequently
guest conducting at the l’Orchestre National de Lorraine and the l’Orchestre De Chambre de Metz. From 1990 to
1993 he was Principal Conductor of the Tirgu Mures Philharmonic in Romania and between 1992 and 1998 held the
position of Principal Conductor of the Savaria Symphony Orchestra in Hungary. In addition to conducting appearances,
Robert is much in demand as a teacher giving classes in the UK, France, Holland, Portugal and Hungary. Since his
return to live in Ireland, he regularly conducts the RTE Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the RTE Concert Orchestra and
the Ulster Orchestra.
Oliver Nelson began learning the violin at the age of six. He gained scholarships to both Canford School and the
Royal Academy of Music during which time he studied the violin with Xue-Wei, conducting with Denise Ham and Colin
Metters and appeared as leader and soloist with the Academy String Orchestra. Also whilst at the Academy he won the
Concerto Competition and the Winifred Small Violin Competition. He is now in great demand as soloist and recitalist

Orchestra. His appearances abroad have included the Bruch Concerto at both the Royal Scottish Academy of Music
and Drama and in the Central Hall, Edinburgh during the Festival, the Tchaikovsky in Adelaide, Australia and Mozart
Concertos 3 and 5 with the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra. Oliver leads a busy life teaching and is regularly
involved in adjudicating, coaching and masterclasses.

Jeremy writes:
At the heart of this year’s programme lies Haydn’s so-called ‘Nelson Mass’, a work of surpassing
brilliance. The Mass is a powerful representation of national anxiety in the face of impending
disaster and Haydn captures the mood perfectly. By contrast, Purcell’s extended anthem is an
exuberant example of English cathedral music heavily influenced by music of the French court in
the seventeenth century. The Weelkes and Gibbons are two fine illustrations of the last great
flowering of English Renaissance music which took place just beyond the death of Elizabeth I.
Fauré’s Madrigal, (not his best-known choral work) is full of musical thumbprints, supple melodies,
subtle harmonies and an interesting variety of choral texture. At the other end of our programme’s
timeline we come up to date with a set of partsongs by Bob Chilcott and Jussi Chydenius. The
craftsmanship in these colourful and persuasive pieces is admirable and I look forward to sharing
them – and all the other items on the programme – with you next summer. May I remind you that
this course is for competent choral singers who can read music and have reasonable sightreading skills. See you in 2015. J.J.
Jeremy Jackman’s reputation as a conductor and choral director could scarcely be higher in the UK or abroad. He is
Musical Director of the English Baroque Choir, Orchestra of St. John’s Voices and The Cecilian Singers and concerts
abroad this season will take him to Germany, France, Holland and Estonia. An ex-member of the Kings Singers he is
also a highly respected composer and arranger and his music has won accolades from performers and audiences
alike throughout the world.

of Music at Emanuel School, Wandsworth and administrator and accompanist for the Association of British Choral
Directors Advanced and Intermediate Choral Conducting course. As well as giving organ recitals throughout the UK,
he has accompanied various choirs in concerts and at services in many English Cathedrals. He is also a past council
member of ABCD. Simon has held posts as Musical Director with several choral societies and he has just relinquished
his role as Musical Director of Streatham Choral Society.

The Art of Choral Direction
David Lawrence with James Keefe
Designed for conductors of choral societies, chamber choirs, church choirs and youth choirs at
all levels, this course offers each participant a unique programme of study tailored to their
experience and requirements. By means of a masterclass style of teaching, the week will focus
on non-verbal communication, conducting technique, and the fundamental skills of encouraging
‘musical thinking’ and imparting vocal and choral techniques to singers.
All conducting students will have on a daily basis the opportunity to direct the course choral
group formed by the other course members. Two sessions during the week will be allocated to
work with a) a large choir and b) an orchestra, each of these groups being formed from other
students in the school. Additionally, there will be opportunities for some course members to take
part in a workshop concert later in the week. Selection for these sessions will be at the sole
discretion of the course director.
Pre-preparation of the music is advised and the repertoire should be acquired where possible
before the start of the course.

bring to the class three or four
pieces of their own choice, one of
which should have been written in
the last fifty years (i.e. since 1965).
Ample time will be allotted for each
work to be heard and discussed.
“The Pianist” Painting and Drawing Musicians Course

The Lighter Side Choral Course
Susan Hollingworth assisted by Tim Uglow
9 - 16 August
Yet another wild selection of foot stomping fun pieces with plenty of pure sentimental nostalgia to
keep emotions balanced. Several pieces could challenge the hardiest regular but enough of the
repertoire is very approachable to ensure our concert will be the success we have come to
expect and enjoy.
Be prepared to work hard! This course is not for the timid conservative nor the enthusiastic
“sing-along”; a good ear and a secure sense of rhythm are essential and a loud costume for
the concert will help!

9 -16 August
Singers should bring repertoire of their own choice, whether it be songs or arias (or both) - all
languages are welcomed. However, if singing in a language other than English, students are
asked to bring a translation. There will be time to work on four items at least during the week and
perhaps as many as six. Songs need not be memorised but they must be well-prepared.
A Journey Through Jazz
Mike Hall
Dan Whieldon
9 -16 August
A Journey Through Jazz will guide students through the
essential features of the jazz idiom. Newcomers to jazz will
find a sympathetic environment in which to take their first
steps while more experienced students will be provided
with challenging material and ideas to extend their existing
improvisation skills.
The course is centred on the rehearsal and performance of
a number of jazz arrangements with each piece introducing
a different musical style and relevant approach to
improvisation. Theoretical and historical elements are
introduced as and when appropriate. A course concert will
take place towards the end of the week.
Participants should have a reasonable command of their
instrument including a basic knowledge of major scales
roughly equivalent to grades 4 - 5 classical or jazz,
although no formal qualifications are required. The course
may split in some sessions to facilitate appropriate closer
work on aspects of jazz theory, technique, rhythm or style. It is stressed that no previous
experience of improvisation is necessary and we particularly welcome musicians with classical
skills wishing to explore jazz for the first time.
Mike Hall is a jazz saxophonist and educator. He began his musical career with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra
which led to a twenty year association with composer/pianist Michael Garrick with whom he has toured Malaysia and
made several CD recordings and national radio broadcasts. His playing career has included a week at Ronnie Scott’s
Club with the Echoes of Ellington Orchestra, a concert at the World Saxophone Congress in Slovenia with Andy
Scott’s Sax Assault and playing in John Dankworth and Cleo Laine’s Christmas Show. He regularly freelances with
John Wilson and the RLPO and Halle Orchestras. His duo CD, Over the Moon features pianist Dan Whieldon and his
composition for saxophone quartet, ‘Tales of the Sun God’ is now in print. Apart from maintaining a busy performing
schedule Mike heads Jazz Studies at the RNCM where he is tutor in jazz saxophone, teaches improvisation, theory,
history and directs the RNCM Big Band and Jazz Collective. He is also a consultant for the ABRSM.
Dan Whieldon is a jazz pianist although he initially studied classical piano at the Birmingham Conservatoire of Music
where he won various prizes and competitions. He studied jazz at the Royal Conservatoire in Brussels where he
graduated with a Masters in jazz with distinction whilst also playing all of the city’s major jazz clubs. He has also
studied with Rob van Bavel and Enrico Pieranunzi. In 2007 Dan’s trio released its first CD, “Live at Zeffirelli’s” which
received positive reviews from the Jazz press and was played on BBC Radio 2. In 2009 he recorded a duo CD with
saxophonist Mike Hall including compositions by both musicians. He has played all of the major jazz venues around
the North West and many jazz festivals including Manchester, Glasgow, and Southport. As a “sideman” he has
accompanied Alan Barnes, Bobby Wellins, Art Themen, Tim Garland, Simon Spillett, Steve Waterman, Jiggs
Whigham, Sarah Ellen-Hughes, Marlene Verplanck, Tina May and Lee Gibson. In July 2008 Dan was the winner of
the Nottingham National Jazz Piano Competition where his prizes included a brand new Bluthner piano, a recording
session and concerts at the 606 and Vortex clubs in London. Dan is a visiting teacher of jazz piano and ensemble at
Ampleforth College, Stockport Grammar school, The King’s School, Macclesfield, and York University. He was
recently awarded an Honorary Membership of the Birmingham Conservatoire.

Accommodation
Sports Activities
Sports facilities at Sherborne include a superbly equipped Sports Centre (for which summer
school students have automatic temporary membership) with a 25 metre indoor heated
swimming pool and a fitness suite.
Travel
Sherborne is readily accessible by road and rail (www.nationalrail.co.uk) with efficient links to
major airports.
Information
Sherborne School is in the centre of the town of Sherborne. With its roots dating back to
the 8th Century the School was re-founded in 1550 by King Edward VI. The original buildings
have been sympathetically restored and refurbished and provide a charming and peaceful
ambience that is ideal for music-making.
Accommodation houses are within the precincts of the main school courtyard or in nearby
locations. The main street of Sherborne, Cheap Street, flanks the east side of the courtyard, and
tempts visitors to the small ale houses, antique shops and tea rooms.
On the south side of the School the magnificent and very beautiful Abbey stands majestically
over the surrounding buildings. The chief glory is its roof, the earliest great stone fan vault in
existence. It also boasts the heaviest ring of eight bells in the world!
For periods of relaxation, Sherborne School has a modern, comfortable bar, coffee shop,
dining hall and a superbly equipped Sports Centre. There is a theatre, a recital room, chapel, a
large concert hall, atmospheric rehearsal rooms, a ‘state of the art’ Music School as well as the
Abbey and Cheap Street Church. All in all, a campus full of musical potential with a backdrop of
a delightful country market town bursting with charm and character.
Sherborne
Situated on the Dorset and Somerset border is the Saxon town of Sherborne, a mellow-stoned
living pageant of history with a superb Abbey Church, two castles and wealth of mediaeval
buildings.
‘Discover Sherborne’ is a town trail which takes visitors around the main sites, including the
Sherborne Museum which presents the town's history as far back as Roman times. For those
wishing to venture a little further afield Sherborne Old Castle and Sherborne New Castle are
both within easy walking distance. The Old Castle was built in the early 12th Century and
acquired by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1592. Because he was unable to convert it into a comfortable
home, he built Sherborne Lodge, now the New Castle. The Old Castle was twice besieged in
the 17th Century during the Civil War when the buildings were badly damaged. The remains are
very impressive and a model of the original castle can be seen in the Sherborne Museum. The
Digby family became the owners of the New Castle in 1617 and it has remained in this family
ever since. The castle grounds and lake were designed by 'Capability Brown'.
