Study with Sequentia
Since 1979 the members of Sequentia have taught hundreds of courses in medieval music performance, including summer music academies, workshops and masterclasses all over the world. Of the many young musicians who have attended these courses, a large number have gone on to professional careers in medieval music performance, and several of these have become members of the extended Sequentia performing ensemble.
Since 2005 Sequentia’s co-founder and director, Benjamin Bagby, has taught at the University of Paris, Sorbonne, in the context of a Master’s programme in medieval music performance practice which he directs together with Katarina Livljanic, director of the medieval music ensemble Dialogos.
Mr. Bagby also gives advanced private coaching and lessons to highly-motivated young professionals and ensembles.
