Below are program selections for the 2017 Middlebury Chamber Music Festival Workshop.  Each participant will study two works during the long weekend.  To prepare for the workshop:

  1. Print or find a copy of your parts and scores.
  2. Write in measure numbers
  3. Listen to recordings
  4. Practice your part so the focus of rehearsals can be interpretation and ensemble.

A2) Michael Haydn Divertimento in G Major Finale (Presto)

A3) Corelli Concerto Grosso F Major (op 6, no. 1) — Allegro ritmico, ma cantato e spigliato to the end
