Meet Two of our Faculty Stars – Peter Seibert and Miyo Aoki at the upcoming PTEMW this July 6-12 near Seattle, WA.

Don’t delay – REGISTRATION CLOSES on June 15, 2025.

Peter Seibert is the Founding Director of the Seattle Recorder Society and of this workshop. Our rock of Gibraltar. His knowledge, wisdom and humor are unsurpassed in his capacity as an instructor and we are so fortunate that he is eager to share these with us. Peter will Dive Deep into the flow of music and thought, and how music evolved over the centuries. Truly a topic not to be missed.

Miyo is an integral addition to this workshop and we are thrilled to have her back. Miyo will lead a class specifically for renaissance consort instruments focusing on the glorious sound and harmonious blend that is unique to these instruments, as well as, a fun class entitled Cads and Curmudgeons of the English Renaissance! Her words, "Some very lovely music circulating in Renaissance England was written by some very grumpy or badly-behaved composers, but you'll have a chance to catch a glimpse of their more sensitive sides through beautiful pieces by Christopher Tye, John Dowland, Thomas Weelkes, and other curmudgeons"!
