Class: Baroque Bowing for String Players
Sunday, December 13, 4-5pm In the spirit of the holidays, Early Music Access Project offers a special take on baroque Christmas music for the second in a series of three “virtual” Community Baroque Gatherings. This class, designed just for string players, uses classic baroque-era Christmas carols as a vehicle for learning about baroque bowings. Violinist David McCormick leads this class, capped at 24 participants to allow for some individualized instruction. If there is enough interest, a second section of this class may be added at 2pm.
