When the MCO remains in the same city for a few days during its rehearsal period, the orchestra likes to take advantage of the opportunity to organise education projects in social or pedagogical areas, in order to establish contact with people outside of the concert hall.
Three MCO musicians, travelling to Ferrara a few days earlier than the rest of the orchestra, will lead chamber music workshops there from the 20th to the 22nd of October. These workshops, involving 12 students, feature works by Elgar and Grieg (strings), Rossini and Hindemith (winds), and Brahms (winds/strings); the coaches will be performing with the students as well. Excerpts from the programme will be presented publicly on Saturday evening:
22 October 2011 / SAT / 5:00 pm / free admission Sala grande Della Pinacoteca Nazionale di Ferrara Palazzo dei Diamanti, Corso Ercole d'Este, 21
Coaches: Ivan Podyomov, Oboe Christian Heubes, Violin Florent Bremond, Viola
On the 26th of October, MCO musicians will also give individual lessons in violin, flute, oboe, clarinet and timpani.
Coaches: Isabelle Briner, Violin Johannes Lörstad, Violin Olivier Patey, Clarinet Martin Piechotta, Percussion Henja Semmler, Violin Chiara Tonelli, Flute
