International Flute Summer School (10/506)
Tutored by: Jan Willem Nelleke, Philippa Davies
3 - 7 August 2010
The Nash Ensemble’s Philippa Davies, one of the world’s finest flautists, returns to lead another Benslow International Flute Summer School. Her aim is to enable advanced students – conservatoire entry level is the minimum - to increase their musical freedom, imagination, awareness and expression in solo, chamber and orchestral repertoire. Every aspect of technique will be worked upon, and particular attention paid to posture, breathing, tone and articulation. Philippa and her distinguished colleagues will give masterclasses and there will be general sessions too. Observers are welcome. The course starts at 11 am on the Tuesday and ends on the Saturday afternoon following an informal concert given by course members. Participants receive a complimentary ticket for the public recital, part of the Benslow International Series, given by Philippa with viola player Martin Outram and harpist Lucy Wakeford, on Friday 6 August at 8 pm. Please note that acceptance on this course is subject to the tutors’ approval, but you will be informed in good time. Informal collaboration with the International Viola and Harp Summer Schools is encouraged.
