Masterclass with Oregon Symphony Principal Flute Martha Long
Designed as much for the observers as the participants, the masterclass is presented as a learning opportunity for everyone. Martha will address matters of musical interpretation (fresh ideas on interpretation), technique and performance strategies as well as provide brief insight on the overall piece, the composers intentions and her experience learning the piece. Scores will be available for those wishing to follow along.
There will be a short Q&A at the end of the masterclass.
The day is open to flutists of all ages and levels!
