Are you part of a small music ensemble looking to connect, share, and be inspired? We’re inviting chamber groups with strings (groups with piano are welcome too)—to join us for upcoming private coaching sessions. This is a great opportunity to:
Refine your group’s dynamics
Work with experienced coaches: Jonathan Ong, Kirsten Docter
Receive feedback in a supportive setting
Meet fellow chamber musicians
The programme also features two workshops by renowned chamber musicians Jonathan Ong and Kirsten Docter, and will culminate in a small performance by each ensemble. If you have been playing together for some time and want to level-up your ensemble skills, we’d love to hear from you!
