A chance to experience the joy of string orchestra playing in the wonderful ambience of Higham Hall. This is an introductory course for string players, exploring the core repertoire for string orchestra to include Vivaldi, Elgar’s Serenade, Warlock’s Capriol Suite, Grieg’s Holberg Suite and Mozart’s Divertimenti. Course director Louise Latham (violin), plays in the Northern Chamber Orchestra and specialises in adult string coaching. Cellist Mary Dainton will join us to guide the lower strings. Previous orchestral experience would be useful but not essential. Please state your instrument when applying.
