'ad agio' workshops for musicians
3rd, 11th, 17th, 24th & 31st October
ad agio ('at ease') is a workshop series aimed at musicians of all instruments, levels and genres (aged 18+) to help you play and perform in a more relaxed and comfortable way, both physically and mentally. Experts in musician wellbeing will lead workshops in topics such as performance anxiety, breathing anatomy and techniques, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, injury prevention and treatment, mindfulness and nutrition. The upcoming October series consists of five online sessions. Find out more and book your place.
Annabel Lee Replies: launch event
I'm delighted to be providing event management services for this event. David Barton, Ruth Carlyle and Nic Carlyle have been collaborating on a joint music/words/art project inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem ‘Annabel Lee’. This led to compositions in an English art song style for piano and voice, including a setting of Ruth’s poem ‘The Reply of Annabel Lee’. This event launches recordings made of the songs, and the EP Annabel Lee Replies, featuring Nic's illustrations. Find out more about the background to and inspiration for the project and watch the premiere of these brand new songs. Tickets are free but must be booked in advance.
Low Flutes Sessions with Carla Rees - online
Sundays 15th and 22nd November
Join low flutes expert Carla Rees for our online workshops to enhance your skills and knowledge on the 'big flutes'. Following on from Carla's popular Low Flute Days in Sheffield, UK, and online sessions in July 2020 which were attended by players from around the world, these are aimed at players aged 16+ who already have some experience of playing alto, bass or contrabass. Both workshops will consist of a mixture of Q&As, Masterclass-type sessions, discussions and demonstrations of techniques which you can try out in your own home (with or without your microphone switched on!).
Book for one session or both. More information and bookings here.
