Our full-day Baroque String Workshops offer a stimulating, intensive, and rewarding experience for participants to explore different aspects of the day’s theme. Each workshop includes a faculty performance, group classes on characteristic styles and techniques, mini-lessons, and full-ensemble playing sessions that culminate in a public performance and reception for students and families. Along the way, participants experience the expressive potential of using baroque bows and gain essential chamber music experience as we learn and rehearse Baroque music without a conductor.
