About This Activity
Description
Intermediate and advanced musicians will explore the string quartet music of a different featured composer each term. Our goal is not to master a piece of work, but to be able to play through the piece and explore insights about these pieces as building blocks for the quartets that follow them. With faculty violinist/violist Kerry Bollinger providing the lead, primarily from the first violin part (but occasionally from the second or viola part as well), participants build confidence in repertoire which otherwise might be somewhat daunting to undertake in the usual one-person-on-a-part quartet mode. All improve musically through side-by-side playing with a professional musician and with each other. Month by month the group will explore a quartet from the early, middle, and later repertoire of Haydn’s string quartets.
Parts are provided FREE online, via links from the class webpage. Participants download and print their music in advance of each rehearsal. Please also number the measure numbers of your parts before class.
Not sure if this is for you? Speak to Ms. Bollinger or join us for a free rehearsal to see for yourself!
