Are you seeking opportunities to bring more creativity and polish to your playing?Join members of Les Délices, Cleveland’s premiere baroque chamber ensemble, for a FREE full-day workshop focused on Francesco Geminiani’s Concerto Grosso “La Folia,” based on Arcangelo Corelli’s Sonata “La Folia” from Suzuki Book 6.
La Folia Frenzy: A Full-Day Baroque Strings Workshop
DATE: Sunday Oct 13, 2024, 9:00 am - 5:15 pm
LOCATION: The Music Settlement
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The La Folia Frenzy workshop will focus on Francesco Geminiani’s Concerto Grosso “La Folia,” which is based on Arcangelo Corelli’s Sonata “La Folia” in d minor, Op. 5 no. 12.
The full-day format will offer a stimulating, intensive, and rewarding experience in which each session explores a different aspect or element of the workshop’s theme: La Folia (or, Musical Madness). Along the way, participants will learn about Baroque style, bowing and technique
