In each of the first five workshops, we will be playing a wide range of music from across the centuries, based on seasonal themes. Each session promises a mix of holiday moods, from joyful and exuberant to poignant and reflective.
The remaining three workshops include two almost back-to-back Charpentier sessions (with a dinner break in between) on December 23 which will feature almost the entire Messe de Minuit de Noel, along with the French carols on which the mass is based. Our final workshop on December 26 is a suitably calming session after all the pre-Christmas activity.
Each workshop lasts 90 minutes, and there’s something here for players of all levels (easier parts will be available), even for those who just want to listen! Join us for just one, for all eight, or somewhere in between.
Cost: Workshops are $20 each for 3 or more (or $25 each for 1-3). And if you sign up for all eight ($140), you get one workshop for free! To register or for more information, contact Rachel at rachelbegleyrecorder@yahoo.com.
