The first weekend, Music of our Time, takes place on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October in partnership with Torbay Symphony Orchestra and focuses on the exploration and celebration of 20th century classical music.
It comprises interactive creative workshops as well as electronic jam sessions, talks and discussions. An open concert will explore Electroacoustic music by Marion Wood on Saturday 21st and a finale concert by Torbay Symphony Orchestra on Sunday 22nd features music by John Cage, Maurice Ravel, Ohana, Lutoslawski and Gavin Bryars.
Music of our Time is ideal for all those interested in broadening their knowledge, understanding and experience of contemporary classical music, particularly A Level, Undergraduate, gifted and talented GCSE and adult musicians/students.
A Weekend Pass gives access to all workshops, talks and concerts, plus a baguette lunch on Saturday, and costs just £35 or £25 for students.
The second weekend is The Vivaldi Experience, a celebration of the life and works of the great composer, and takes place on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November in partnership with Devon Baroque and Totnes Early Music Society.
