WORKSHOPS
Baroque Encounter have devised two educational interactive workshops aimed at primary schools studying the Tudor period and Georgian London, and/or for children and accompanying adults as part of festivals before all-age recitals.
- Tudor workshops
- Handel's London - a Musical Snapshot
TUDOR WORKSHOPS
The session opens with a short professional performance of Tudor music by Baroque Encounter for the participating class(es).
The audience then participates in our interactive workshops for all students (voices and instruments) – teachers are welcome to join in too. The pupils are encouraged and coached to create soundscape pieces evoking specific elements of Tudor life. The session culminates in a final performance by the students and Baroque Encounter for the rest of the school. |

HANDEL'S LONDON - A MUSICAL SNAPSHOT
First devised for the 2010 Dulwich Festival, Baroque Encounter also offers a shorter (approx 1.5 hours) workshop for children and accompanying adults exploring the sound world of Georgian London.
With the participants' own instruments, their voices and a selection of percussion instruments we help re-create our own version of Handel's Water Music with a taste of Georgian London's street life along the way. Perfect before an all-ages recital! Contact us for more information... |
