Two day courses for young musicians

Coached by The Regency Ensemble, these two day intensive courses are centred on chamber music. Each participant is assigned to a chamber group based on ability and experience on which there is 5 hours of coaching over the two days. In addition, everyone is involved in a chamber orchestra and there are also individual coaching sessions on chamber music parts. The courses close with a concert on the Friday evening, which is given by the participants and incorporates a movement played by The Regency Ensemble.
