What a wonderful weekend we had at the Dorset Cello Classes Adult Learners weekend!
Led by Rebecca Gilliver, founder of the Dorset Cello Classes and the honestly not-scary-at-all principal cellist of the London Symphony Orchestra, this event was a repeat of last year's successful and fun adult learning experience.
Our main focus was Bach's Brandenburg no 3, arranged for 10 cellos, which we studied over the 2 day event, with a final performance to a very select audience on the Saturday evening. Lessons, exercises, lots of chamber music and sight reading - and of course, cake eating - took place. The event will be repeated next year, dates to be confirmed when possible.
Usual schedule -
Location - Holt Village Hall (on the green, just down from the Old Inn next to the church!) here.
If you're interested in the next session, please contact me via the email below - include your musical biography, what standard you play to and if there is anything specific you are interested in addressing over the weekend. Standard - anything from a confident grade 4 upwards! Ensembles pieces are adapted to embrace all standards but the course is not suitable for beginners. Places are limited to 8 and due to financial constrants, the course would struggle to run if less than half the spaces are filled.
