The Benedetti Foundation presents the Baroque Virtual Sessions
The Benedetti Foundation presents the Baroque Virtual Sessions series from September 26- October 2
The Benedetti Foundation presents the Baroque Virtual Sessions from September 26– October 2 with live online sessions on October 1 & 2.
Baroque music is a gift to the world of music education: it embodies dance, community and improvisation and expresses joyfulness and drama in equal measure. The Sessions will be approached in a way that inspires fun and enjoyment, a greater sense of togetherness and a true abandonment of caution.
The Baroque Sessions will be led by a team of internationally acclaimed specialists including Rachel Podger (violin), Clifton Harrison (viola), David Watkin (cello), Carina Cosgrave (double bass), Steven Devine (harpsichord), Adrian Bending (percussion), Leo Duarte (woodwind), Ursula Paludan Monberg (brass) and Elizabeth Kenny (lute).
Nicola Benedetti commented, ‘Enter into this world with us and you won’t look back. The more you hear and experience and learn, the more you are desperate to know. This music can unlock a freedom inside of us. I have experienced it myself and I am desperate for everyone else to experience that too. I really hope you will join our incredible team of Baroque musicians to discover more about this joyous music.’
The Baroque Sessions will be open to participants of all ages and stages and will take place in three parts:
Join in on social media: Monday, September 26 – Friday, September 30
Join in on the Benedetti Foundation’s social media platforms where short participation and information videos will be released from the Baroque experts. The videos will also be hosted on the Benedetti Foundation website.
Meet the Experts: Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2
The team of Baroque specialists will deliver a series of live sessions on zoom across the weekend exploring the energetic and revolutionary world of baroque music. Participants may join as many sessions as they wish, and all sessions will be recorded and will be available to watch back within three months.
