EDINBURGH: SATURDAY 14 DECEMBER, 11am-4pm

Edinburgh Academy Senior School, 42 Henderson Row, Edinburgh EH3 5BL

Adult string players (violin, viola, cello and double bass) are invited to join The Benedetti Foundation for our Benedetti Sessions Day for our next Adult String Players in person in Edinburgh!

Join the Foundation’s Tutors including Alex Laing (conductor), Andrea Gajic (violin), Ruth Nelson (viola), Naomi Pavri (cello) and May Halyburton (double bass) as we explore two pieces of music: Bruch’s Serenade on Swedish Folk Melodies Movements 1 and 2 and Vaughan Williams English Folk Song Suite, Movement 1.

During the day, we will be focusing on expression, sound production, freedom in playing, story telling, understanding the context of the music and delving deep into specific technical challenges in upper and lower strings groups.

You will be sent materials to prepare in advance of the sessions and the day will finish with a play through all together.

This day would be most suitable for players working at high Intermediate and Advanced level (recommended Grade 6+).

Cost: £30 - FULL Bursaries are available (please tick the box on the sign up form). Please note places on this workshop are non-refundable.

Register by Wednesday 4 December 2024. Places are limited and the form will close when all spaces are filled.
