Simply for Strings had the opportunity of being involved with AUSTA Q’s Baroque Style Workshop presented by Louise King and held at Somerville House on Sunday. We took along a selection of baroque instruments and bows for people to use and a stack of urtext and facsimile editions to browse. Louise presented a range of aspects of historical playing and interpretation and we all had the opportunity to play through some well known baroque repertoire (Corelli’s Christmas Concerto among others) with ‘new eyes and ears’. It was a delightful day with everyone getting involved and sharing thoughts and ideas about the baroque style and interpretation. It was a real treat to have Catherine Stirling accompany us on the harpsichord for the day too. Below are some photos Shannon Luk took of the days activities.
