Masterclasses, coaching and open rehearsals

This year, in collaboration with the Pimlott Foundation, we are offering the chance to have one-to-one tuition from some of the inspiring musicians playing at the festival.


The classes are open to anyone of grade 7 and above. There is no age limit and we would be delighted if a large age range was represented. We encourage you to bring pre-formed chamber groups to any of the sessions.
