Christmas Consorts
Christmas Course December 8th - 10th 2020
please note this is Tuesday - Thursday, not our usual weekend days
Hothorpe Hall, Leicestershire
This course will have two strands - we will run a course for Elementary and Lower Intermediate players, and we will also coach pre-formed consorts working at any level. Last time we ran this course, a team of viol playing snowmen turned up...
Elementary and Lower Intermediate
We will choose music with a Christmas
theme. Feel free to sing along!
Pre-formed groups
These can be of any standard and must
consist of at least 4 people, but due to Covid restrictions no more than 5. You bring your own repertoire that you would like to work on, and we can also make some suggestions and bring a few things for you to try. Sometimes a consort will be looking for an additional player, so let us know if you're looking for a group and we may be able to match you up.
We encourage consorts to select music with a festive theme,
and we have plenty of suggestions to make if you need
inspiration! How about the 5-part 'Christmas Gift', pieces by
Ian Payne with Christmas carols hidden in Holborn-style
dances. Click to image to see more.
