Adult Workshops
One-day chamber music workshops for amateur musicians
These workshops offer an opportunity for people of similar standards
(and any age), to work together on a movement of the chamber music
repertoire. Chamber groups are usually based around a tutor who plays
in the group but can also be made up entirely of participants with
a tutor coaching. Each workshop includes a chamber orchestra session
and closes with a performance of the day’s work, which includes
a movement played by the tutors.

- Applications are welcome from individuals or pre-formed groups;
primarily for bowed string instruments, limited places are available
for piano and applications are welcome from wind instruments.

session alone.

ABRSM grade 5/6.
- While every effort is made to cater for all who apply, where this
is not possible we will endeavour to offer a place on a future workshop.
Repertoire
- Groups and repertoire will be allocated six weeks before each
workshop in order to give participants time to learn their parts
in preparation.
- If you have any repertoire preferences, we will do our best to
accommodate them.
