Posted on: 8/03/2019EGA MusicLast weekend, our young musicians had the exciting and unique opportunity to attend an orchestral masterclass with international concert violinist Nicola Benedetti. WOW! During the session, Ms Benedetti – patron of the music charity MiSST, who fund our new music school ‘Vivo’ – worked with the students on orchestral repertoire and taught new techniques for best practise and performance. Our students gained so much from this experience and can continue to learn from Ms Benedetti’s musicianship via her new education YouTube channel ‘With Nicky’. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheNicolaBenedetti/videos
