The 4th Hong Kong International Chamber Music Festival 2013 (Amateur Workshop)
VIEW EVENT DETAILSAs an Outreach Program Partner of the 4th Hong Kong International Chamber Music Festival 2013, Asia Society Hong Kong Center brings to our historical premises various outreach and education programs. This is a rare opportunity for amateur musicians in Hong Kong to participate in workshops especially designed for the accomplished non-professional. This workshop facilitated by outreach program artists, will provide performance technique instruction and general tips on how to be a competent chamber music performer. The workshop is also a performance showcase for local amateur groups.
If you are an amateur musician and play chamber music with your friends, why not participate by playing on stage? Application forms are available at the Lin Yao Ji Music Foundation of China's website. (Spots are limited, and are subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis). Three groups will be invited back for further coaching on Saturday, January 12 at 4.00 pm.
