Join us for an inspiring and challenging weekend led by renowned flute, cello and piano trio Enigma 14. Participants will form trios with like-minded musicians to explore great works by composers including Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, guided by the expert coaching of Enigma 14’s members. Our supportive approach will allow you to grow your skills both as an individual and as part of a chamber group, with the course culminating in an informal concert for family and friends.
Participants will receive coaching on the selected repertoire, as well as more generally on chamber and individual performance and rehearsal technique. Plus, Enigma 14 will deliver a short performance exclusively for course participants.
Enigma14 (Lisa Nelsen, flute; Julian Metzger, cello; and Paul Turner, piano) have come together out of a passion for performing chamber music which is under the horizon of many audiences. The combination of wind, strings and piano offers intense tone colours, and shows the almost vocal power of communication between them.
You can sign up as an individual flautist, cellist or pianist – or if you already have a trio of that nature then you are welcome to all sign up (thought please note you will each need to make individual online applications).
This course is open to anyone aged 16+. Ability to sight-read is helpful but not required, repertoire suggestions will be sent out in advance. We recommend a minimum standard of ABRSM Grade 6 (or equivalent). Both individuals and groups are welcome. Applicants must have sufficient English language skills to cope with course demands.
