The Strings Day aims to inspire young string players, immersing them in inspiring music-making with others. The workshop will be a blend of intense yet calm sessions, with regular breaks. Participants will play a variety of contrasting pieces within a large string orchestra, benefiting from the beautiful acoustics of the venue. Additionally, the day will include fun musical games and activities to keep the experience engaging and enjoyable.
To ensure everyone gains the most from this workshop, some preparation is required. Music will be shared with all registered participants to practice before the event.
The day will culminate in a final performance, where families are invited to witness the progress and achievements of the young musicians.
