Inverurie Music presents….
Piano/Chamber Music Master Class
Kemnay Church Centre, Church Lane, Kemnay AB51 5QP

Saturday March 30th 10.15-12.45 ( two hours tuition)

Lana Trotovsek (Vn) and Maria Canyigueral (Pf) are performing for Inverurie Music at the Inverurie Town Hall on Friday 29th March (See upcoming Facebook posts for details of concert). On Saturday 30th March they will be giving a masterclass for musicians in this area who wish to play in a piano quintet, quartet or trio. Local amateur or professional musicians who wish to participate will include piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass players. Numbers will be strictly limited to up to two for each instrument to enable there to be meaningful tuition in the two hour session. Players may come with ready formed groups or as individuals. Choice of music will depend upon the number and range of players, however, if a double bass player is present then the Trout Quintet will be one of the pieces sampled.

The class is priced to break even as Inverurie Music is a Scottish Charity.
Cost £35.00 per person payable in advance by March 15th. Students in full time education £20.00
