Tuesday & Thursday, February 19 & 21,\u00a02019 <\/strong><\/p>\n 7 pm<\/strong><\/p>\nLocation:\u00a0<\/strong>Drew School, 2901 California Street (at Broderick), San Francisco What to bring:<\/strong>\u00a0Your instrument, a music stand, and your music.<\/p>\n Attire:<\/strong>\u00a0Dress code is casual\/comfortable. Please refrain from wearing scented products such as perfume or hair spray.<\/p>\n Parking: <\/strong>Parking is difficult in this residential neighborhood. We highly recommend public transit: the 1-California and the 24-Divisadero lines both stop just a block away at California and Divisadero. If you must drive, please allow plenty of time to find parking.<\/p>\n Whether the notorious (and glorious!) Mendelssohn Octet is an old friend, a new acquaintance or a total stranger to you, welcome! NEQ will offer some historically-informed perspective on one of the most exuberant and well-loved works in all of chamber music, along with practical suggestions for solving some of the problems typically encountered. Modern performance tradition for the Octet can sometimes become a liability, resulting in an unleavened and monochromatic reading. A fresh look at articulation, balance, bowings and phrase direction can breathe new life into your approach to this irresistible work of young genius.<\/p>\n\t Please download and print your part and bring it with you to the workshop.<\/p>\n Break-out coaching sessions will focus on the first two movements, and the workshop will culminate with a reading of the entire work.<\/p>\n PLEASE NOTE: in this workshop, all will be playing at standard concert pitch (440).<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tViolin 1\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tViolin 2\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tViolin 3\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tViolin 4\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tViola 1\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tViola 2\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCello 1\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCello 2\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t KATI KYME has enjoyed decades of chamber music with The New Esterhazy Quartet, The Artaria Quartet, The Yale New Music Quartet and the Berkeley String Quartet.
