What is the course about?
String Orchestra Plus returns again in 2022 with Nic Fallowfield, Richard Muncey, Jenny Curtis and Clare Bhabra - colleagues in the Tedesca Quartet and among the most popular Benslow Music tutors. We once again invite players to join them in an exploration of music which seldom gets an outing in amateur orchestras.
