Sun 11 Jan - Sat 17 Jan - Riverina Summer School for Strings

Details: Riverina Summer School for Strings

Carl Pini will be our Music Director again and he will be accompanied by a range of dedicated and talented tutors. This year will see the return of many of our well-known regulars as well as some new faces in Clare Brassil and Michaela Cannon (cello), John Martin (piano) and Michael Kluger (bandoneon).

The Classes

The School caters for players of violin, viola, cello, double bass and guitar of all ages, from six to eighty, and offers a range of string playing activities to cater for varying interests and abilities. A limited number of instruments will be available for hire at a reasonable rate.

For older students and adults, a moderately high standard of playing is desirable. A formal qualification however, is not necessary. Short informal auditions will be held upon arrival at the School in order to ascertain skills in sight reading and playing from memory as well as general musicianship skills so as to facilitate placement in one of the two string orchestras.

The Concerts

 An outstanding feature of the School is the program of public evening concerts which take place almost every night during the week of the school.
