Join members of Les Délices, Cleveland’s premiere Baroque chamber ensemble, for a full-day workshop focused on Heinrich Biber's programmatic showpiece Battalia. Open to classical string players ages 10 - 18.
The full-day format will offer a stimulating, intensive, and rewarding experience in which each session explores a different aspect or element of the workshop’s Musical Storytelling theme. Along the way, participants will learn about Baroque style, bowing and technique while gaining essential chamber music experience as they learn and rehearse Biber’s Battalia without a conductor.
The day’s schedule will include a faculty performance that introduces concepts of rhetoric used by Baroque composers, 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.
PREREQUISITES:
Participants must be able to play 2 octave melodic or harmonic minor scales; up to 2 or 3 flats/sharps, and have completed Suzuki Book 3. Completion of Suzuki Book 4 is preferred.
