BELFAST: SATURDAY 16 NOVEMBER, 11am-4pm

Ulster University - Belfast Campus, 2-24 York Street, Belfast BT15 1AP

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

Join the Foundation’s Tutors including Alex Laing (conductor), Rozzie Curlett (cello) and Rebecca Blaney (double bass) as we explore two pieces of music: Holst’s St Paul’s Suite Movement 1 and a brand new arrangement for The Benedetti Foundation of Rachmaninov’s Adagio from Symphony No. 2

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 Intermediate and Advanced level (recommended Grade 4/5+).

Cost: £30 - FULL Bursaries are available (please tick the box on the sign up form)
