Our Conductor, who will be leading from the chair, has assembled another inspiring summer with an eclectic mix of fun, interesting and challenging pieces to keep us in tip top shape!
It will be fun to investigate an array of works all new to us. All of them will be sure to please as they'll sharpen our present skills and introduce us to some new techniques and processes to achieve an optimum result.
This is our 5th year running the WCYO Summer Strings Workshop and I must say that every year I've thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much more than I thought possible during the lazy days of summer. I'm looking forward to another fun and informative season with friends and colleagues!
I sincerely hope you'll join us!
I can promise you won't regret it!
