Courses

Our courses begin with dinner on the first evening at about 6.30 (depending on the venue) followed by an evening playing session. We usually begin by meeting in the bar with a drink, and the grand handing out of timetables, name badges, and other viol playing paraphernalia!

​Day 2 has two sessions in the morning with a coffee break in between, then two sessions in the afternoon but with a couple of hours of free time too. Jacqui and Ali will also give a short recital. After dinner there is one more session in the evening, finishing about 9.30pm. On Day 3 the morning is the same format as Day 2, and we finish with lunch at 1pm. All courses are at A=415 pitch.
