The wind chamber music course at Aberystwyth MusicFest has become a popular and exciting summer event for woodwind and horn players to enjoy superb music-making in a wonderful coastal location, with world-class tutoring! The course is directed by bassoonist Laurence Perkins, and offers daily tutored wind chamber music sessions – woodwind and horn players of grade eight (AB) and above are welcomed. There will be excellent opportunities to explore a wide range of chamber works (originals and arrangements) for both small and larger-sized ensembles – the exact repertoire and combinations will be decided when a full list of players is available. At the end of the week, there will be a chance to perform some of the chamber music prepared through the week in an informal concert. In addition to this, there will be performance classes where you can bring along a solo piece and try it out in a relaxed, informal class setting with help and guidance on aspects of performance and interpretation.
