&#13;
This course, led by clarinettist Heather Roche and cellist Erik Borgir, explores chamber music of our time as a dynamic space for collaboration, experimentation, and artistic exchange.&#13;
&#13;
Rather than a traditional masterclass structure, the course emphasises process and discovery. Through coached rehearsals, collaborative workshops, and open discussions, participants will investigate rehearsal strategies, communication within ensembles, interpretative decision-making, and the practical realities of contemporary chamber music-making today.&#13;
&#13;
Participants will have opportunities to form new collaborations, and to perform for the wider festival community. &#13;
