Professional Weekend Schedule:
Saturday 16 September
| 9.00-10.30 | Presentation: Prof. Neal Peres da Costa on the latest research into HIP Learning Outcomes: An introduction to early recorded evidence of 19th-century musicians to understand the sound world and expressive practices integral to the orchestral performance and music-making in general in the Romantic and Classical eras. |
| 10.30-11.00 | Break |
| 11.00-12.30 | Q&A HIP Study/Career Options Learning outcomes: Access resources to study options and career pathways in HIP and share ARCO educational resources. |
| 12.30-1.15 | Lunch |
| 1.15-2.30 | String Masterclasses (Classical & Romantic – Solo and Chamber Music) with ARCO Faculty |
| 2.30-2.45 | Break |
| 2.45-4.15 | Side-by-Side String Orchestra directed by Rachael Beesley Learning outcomes: Apply HIP concepts and stylistic approaches to Classical & Romantic repertoire. |
Sunday 17 September
| 9.00-10.30 | Welcome & Presentation: Practising with Intent / The Musician as a Storyteller with Rachael Beesley Learning outcomes: Build your confidence, curiosity and freedom to explore practising in an improvisatory manner with intent. Explore new and exciting approaches to repertoire and technique, increase your sense of well-being and find keys to experiencing the FLOW state. In exploring these concepts, we also get closer to the cognitive psychology of today. By trying out postures and movements ourselves, we learn to feel what a gesture can cause in our own body. In the process we also learn to decipher the acting styles and paintings of the past. All of these disciplines follow the same rhetorical logic: art must convince viewers and audiences by causing a physical reaction and thus touching their hearts. That is, after all, the intention of music. |
| 10.30-11.00 | Break |
| 11.00-12.30 | Demonstrations: Historical String Instruments (+Clarinet) Learning outcomes: Deepen your awareness of new and interesting HIP approaches to repertoire, string instruments and expressive techniques. |
| 12.30-1.15 | Lunch |
| 1.15-2.30 | String Masterclasses (Classical & Romantic – Solo and Chamber Music) with ARCO Faculty |
| 2.30-2.45 | Break |
| 2.45-4.15 | Side-by-Side String Orchestra directed by Rachael Beesley Learning outcomes: Apply HIP concepts and stylistic approaches to Classical & Romantic repertoire. |
The Side-by-Side String Orchestra repertoire will be:
| Johann STAMITZ (1717-57) | Sinfonia for 2 Violins, Viola & Cembalo in A major |
| Franz Xaver RICHTER (1709-1789) | Sinfonia for 2 Violins, Viola & Cembalo in B flat major |
