Looking back

Our annual baroque strings workshop at the Keble Early Music Festival has become a fixture of IT&T's education programme. Run in partnership with Oxfordshire County Music Service, it is an open workshop for secondary school string players of grade 6 and above, led by expert coaches from IT&T. Baroque bows are provided, and taking part is free.

In October 2023 we also ran a baroque bowing workshop for intermediate and advanced school-age string players, built around Purcell's Abdelazar suite.
