Held on selected Sundays across the year, you will be welcomed into a community of like-minded musicians who love to make music together. With inspiring classes, ensemble performances, masterclasses and creative collaborations, each day offers a unique variety of exciting musical experiences.
What does it involve?
The young musicians will spend time with world-leading teachers exploring new repertoire in ensembles, masterclasses and creative collaborations, as well as learning about breathing techniques and reed making. They will also gain valuable advice about how to prepare for auditions, develop performance skills and receive peer-to-peer support from other young bassoonists in a supportive and friendly environment.
