This year we are settling down after Covid, and returning to our popular 4-day Presidents’ Day Weekend workshop in Santa Fe. By your request we are changing the focus into smaller chamber ensembles. Once again, wind, string and keyboard players are welcome. Pre-formed groups, for example string quartet or wind quintet, are welcome to apply. We are organizing “two-track” days.
Half of each day will feature smaller ensembles of strings + winds, just strings, and just winds, with professional coaching working on a pre-assigned piece and optional performance of one movement at the end of the day to showcase our work.
The other half of the day will feature participation in an ensemble that will stretch over the four days of the workshop and culminate in a concert on the Monday afternoon. Options will include slightly larger chamber ensembles: baroque, wind octet, wind decet, mixed strings/winds.
Note: Most instrument places are now filled but there are vacancies for an oboe and a few string players.
