The Heart of Chamber Music

Beyond Upbow/Downbow

New England Conservatory presents The Heart of Chamber Music winter workshop 
for string players and pianists January 6 - 8, 2001 with Triple Helix piano 
trio.

The Heart of Chamber Music is an innovative program that  addresses  the 
customary concerns of phrasing, intonation, fingering and bowing that 
musicians always face; but through complementary classes in yoga, acting and 
Alexander Technique, we  direct our attention to the larger goal of 
connecting  with the music, each other and ourselves as we study a masterwork 
of the literature.  In this Winter workshop, we will include a yoga class 
with musician/yoga teacher Deborah Dunham each  afternoon. 

This workshop is  intended for pre-formed groups of at least intermediate 
level, and individuals of intermediate to advanced ability who have previous 
chamber music experience.   The deadline for application is December 3, 2000. 
 The price of the workshop  is $ 235 with a $25 registration fee for a total 
of $260.  

The faculty is drawn from the New England Conservatory.  

 
Each day will include:
      two hours of chamber music rehearsal 
      morning and afternoon 2-hour chamber music coaching sessions   
      a gentle late-afternoon  yoga class with Deborah Dunham
