The Ann and Peter Law OAE Experience gives gifted period instrument musicians the chance to work alongside our orchestral players.
The two-year-long scheme is aimed at players who have already finished or are finishing their studies and allows participants to be involved in and be mentored by our musicians in a variety of events across the year.
Haydn’s symphonies are the backbone of the Experience projects. In workshops and rehearsals, students explore Haydn’s musical language and performance practice. They also discuss the intensely social aspects of the writing, the effects of this on their music-making and the interaction with the audience. The aim is to treat symphonies as enlarged chamber music with the whole group influencing and leading aspects of the rehearsals and performance.
