AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

      AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE MISSED
Hot on the heels of our master - class workshop with Helene Hatton we have been offered to host a master-class workshop with Patrice Connelly on the unique and beautiful viola da gamba     
This is a fantastic opportunity for music students, parents and teachers to have a hands-on experience of treble, tenor and bass viols.
Come and learn about this instrument and increase your knowledge of the instrument and world music. They have an amazingly diverse repertoire: solos, duos, consorts continuo, obbligato parts etc.etc.

 Patrice will bring treble, tenor and bass viols, (did YOU know there were that many?) After a short lecture/demo to introduce the instruments, you will be shown how to hold the bow and instrument and get to feel what it’s like.
Patrice has been teaching the viola da gamba privately and in workshops around Australia since the 1980s. She has an M.Mus (Hons) degree from the University of  Sydney, and did her thesis on pedagogy of the viol which she has also studied in the US with master teachers. During the 1990s and early 2000s, she was prominent in Sydney as a performer on viola da gamba, leading two groups: Ye Vyalls (a viol consort) and Zarabanda (a 3 bass viol ensemble). She has also performed with many other groups. Patrice owns Saraband Music, Australia’s early music specialist and publisher, and is based just west of Woodford.
When: Saturday 13 September, either 10am-12 or 1pm-3
Where: Caloundra Music Academy, 
28 Bowman Road, Caloundra(opposite McDonald’s)
Cost: $20 per person. Limit: 15 per session
