Baroque and Renaissance Instrument Discovery Day

Explore, Hear and Play!  No musical experience is necessary.

In celebration of a recent bequest of Baroque and Renaissance instruments St Mary’s Music School is opening its doors to anyone who would like to learn about, hear, try to play, or share expertise in, early wind, brass and stringed instruments (viols and vielle).  The afternoon is run in partnership with Dunedin Consort and is led by their specialist musicians Amelia Shakespeare and Lucia Capellaro.  There will be a series of presentations, demonstrations, and opportunities to have a go on the instruments.  There will also be a parallel path for those who already play, to bring their instruments, and meet and play with others, including coaching sessions from Lucia and Amelia.
