This day long workshop will be led by folk musician and dancer Laurel Swift and is aimed at strings players (violin, viola, cello & double bass) of grade 3+. It is FREE for SMS ensemble members.

Tunes will be taught by ear and then used to explore the stylistic details in the playing of folk music as well as spontaneous use of harmony and variation, in both small and large groups. Family and friends will be invited to an informal concert at the end of the day. 

For further information or to enrol, please contact music@southampton.gov.uk by Friday 9th February.
