Regency Chamber Music provides a variety of courses and workshops, catering for instrumentalists of all ages and experience. Working in tandem with The Regency Ensemble concert series these courses and workshops have created a thriving musical community in the centre of Brighton.

• Join The Regency Ensemble for Mozart, Enescu and Lutoslawski on Wednesday 1st September 2010 at the Friends' Meeting House in Brighton - full details on The Regency Ensemble page.
• The weekend of September 11th & 12th will see our first ever two-day workshop for adults. The extra day on the Saturday will be an opportunity for double the amount of chamber music coaching and we will also be encorporating instrument technique classes on this extra day. For those who would rather stick to the usual one day version, the Sunday can still be applied for alone as a one-day workshop in the usual format. Full details and an online application can be found on the adults page. There are still a few spaces remaining on this workshop.
• Applications for the last 2010 Preparatory Course have now closed. If you would like to find out what these workshops are all about, please join us for an informal performance at 6.15pm on Wednesday 25th August 2010 at The Friends' Meeting House in Brighton. (Full details on the prep page).

Regency Chamber Courses

Courses and workshops are centred on chamber music coaching and chamber groups are carefully organised so that each participant is playing with others of a similar standard. All sessions are coached by a member of The Regency Ensemble and aim to encourage and develop individual musical and ensemble skills.

Chamber orchestra sessions provide an opportunity for everyone, including the tutors, to play together.

Coaching and rehearsals culminate in a performance and a chance to share experiences with friends and family.

Courses are aimed primarily at string players but other instrumentalists are welcome. Applications are invited from individuals or pre-formed groups. You can also just join us for the chamber orchestra part of each course – a perfect taster opportunity.

"Brilliant! A really great day and very inspiring."

"A very enjoyable & rewarding day. Excellent tutoring. Thank you. (Good food too)."

"...Most importantly it gave me the opportunity to meet other musicians with similar interests to mine, perhaps this was my first step into playing chamber music on a more regular basis..."

"...you got around the fact that we four were all at different stages of our playing careers by directing your advice at exactly the right level for each person.... I couldn't believe how much we brought off in the performance."

"Brilliant! A really great day and very inspiring."
