Masterclasses @ SWCHS
23 October 2016
We supported Saffron Walden County High School’s flagship Music Academy programme with exceptional masterclass opportunities for talented sixth formers. Masterclasses are led by award-winning young musicians, often winners of BBC Young Musician Competition, or artists represented by the Young Classical Artists Trust. In 2015/16, students worked with Benjamin Baker (violin), Anna Huntley (mezzo-soprano), and James Baillieu (piano).
In 2016/17 we welcomed Sean Shibe (guitar) on Sunday 23 October 2016, Louis Schwizgebel (piano) on Sunday 13 November 2016, and Laura van der Heijden (cello) and Tom Poster (piano) on Sunday 2 April 2017.
Sessions follow our Sunday afternoon Young Artist Coffee Concerts, with the performing musicians leading a masterclass after their recital. Starting at 4pm, masterclasses are open to the public and free to watch. Masterclasses are free to attend and tickets are not required.
