The Summer School runs for five weeks, with 20-30 courses week-long courses taking place every day during each week – from individual instrumental and vocal classes to chamber music, large ensemble courses and composition. You can take part in up to four courses per week, and stay for one or all five weeks!
Aimed at those who already have a solid grip on harpsichord playing techniques, participants will receive a minimum of 45 minutes dedicated tuition during the week, in addition to what is learnt through observing each other within the group. Maggie is best known through numerous recitals on BBC Radio 3 and appearances at leading British festivals, and is professor of fortepiano at Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
She will also be delivering the course Fortepiano – an introduction for pianists in the same week. This will work as a workshop for pianists who have never played, or have some experience of playing the fortepiano.
