  • GSMD Annual Viola Day 25Th October 2017 Report Guildhall School Of
    GSMD Annual Viola Day 25th October 2017 Report Guildhall School of Music and Drama held its annual Viola Day this year on Wednesday 25th October 2017, in the Silk Street Music Hall. It was a day celebrating all things viola with members of GSMD and a wonderful number of viola enthusiasts of all ages from across the country. As always, the day was packed full of events both familiar and with some new additions! Masterclasses and workshops We were delighted to welcome Jade McCarthy, a 16-year old violist originally from Bournemouth, to Guildhall where she played Glazunov’s Elegy beautifully in a masterclass with GSMD’s Head of Chamber Music Matthew Jones. German Clavijo, of the LSO and Liceu Opera Barcelona, put Guildhall students through their paces in orchestral excerpts. We were also delighted to welcome back once again Simon Rowland-Jones for a masterclass: works by Enescu, Rebecca Clarke and Hindemith were wonderfully explored. A new addition this year was a sight-reading session for all participants with LSO’s Robert Turner. Gathered in a circle, a large viola section was treated to en-mass sight-reading, getting a real feel for how it works in an orchestra section. Robert’s talk on the history, uses and techniques for sight- reading were a real eye-opener for everyone involved! We especially enjoyed the last excerpt from Star Wars – much harder than it looks on paper! Chamber music, arrangements and contemporary works As always, all the Guildhall students got involved performing viola ensemble works and arrangements, receiving coaching from Matthew Jones leading up to the day itself.
