Jocelyne led a successful renaissance dance workshop, with each dancer knowing the basic steps and grace of the pavan after 3 hours. There will be another workshop to be arranged later in the Spring.
The year started well for me, now having the Royal Schools of Music Fellowship diploma examination, with speciality in ensemble playing and transcriptions of J.S.Bach's music for recorder ensemble.
Also just back from a week at Stanford University, San Francisco where I played with the ensemble 'Troubadour Art Ensemble'. We were invited to participate in student workshops and played a concert in the beautiful memorial church. It was a wonderful experience.
The CD 'Otramar'(sefardic and troubadour music) recorded in Ireland last year is now released and features 2 students from Cork University.
Now looking forward to the recorder weekend workshop on the 'Trecento', 14th century Italian music. There will be 9 students this time, so it should be fun (just hope the snow melts and it warms up a bit!!)
Starting to take inscriptions for the recorder course 29th April - 2nd May which will be on Irish and Spanish music mainly. We'll be investigating different ways of sounding the recorder depending on the repertoire. Valerie Loomer (guitare renaissance and theorbo will be joining us, and there will be 2 concerts this time... on the Saturday night a concert with Valerie and myself organised by the AMVJO and on the Sunday the usual student concert.
See you there?
Very best wishes to everyone
Denyse
