Future Dates
We try to run workshops once per term. Dates for Autumn 2026 and 2027 have yet to be confirmed.
What we do in the Workshops
The purpose is to provide members of WSO and guests to a ‘play in’ afternoon when there will be opportunities for participants to play through movements of concertos amongst other items. The workshops are normally be led Rosemary Fitchett (Leader of WSO) but occasionally we have some guest conductors.
They are very relaxed affairs with a good interval halfway through to enjoy tea and cakes.
