Getting a Handle on HandelCambridge Early Music was involved in an exciting education project alongside Cambridgeshire Music Hub and The Brook Street Band. The project - 'Getting a Handle on Handel' - aimed to bring together young musicians aged 11-18 from schools in Cambridgeshire to broaden their knowledge and appreciation of early music. In two workshops held on 19th February and 16th March, led by the award-winning The Brook Street Band, the students immersed themselves in the music of Handel, Bach and Telemann and explored Historically Informed Performance techniques including ornamentation, bowing and figured bass. The project culminated in a short performance given by the young musicians during the The Brook Street Band concert at Downing College, Cambridge on 21st March 2017.
"I like the fact I could play and be tutored by such amazing Baroque players. Since I loved the baroque period, an opportunity such as this was wonderful!" (Feedback from a participant) |
