Are you curious what information is available about historical performance?
Do you love history, music, and the stories it has to tell?
Baroque Music Montana offers a period practice workshop, specifically for modern instrument performers.
This workshop will explore
- Original sources (manuscript scores and first editions, iconography, writing) and their clues for today’s performers
- Varied articulation
- Rhetorical, communicative sound
- Ornamentation and improvisation
- Open, centered, relaxed physical approach to instrument
Working closely with our faculty, participants will use these elements to inspire fresh, invigorated, and uniquely personal performances!
