All pieces which require piano will be accompanied by the brilliant pianist Jose Menor. Classes will be taught primarily in English, but Mr. Wilson is fluent in Italian, French, Spanish. Any participant feeling more comfortable in any of these languages should feel free to apply.

TECHNIQUE SESSIONS:

Technique sessions will take place on most mornings at 11:30am in the Chapel and are led by former student of Mr. Wilson, flautist Daniel Alexander. These classes will cover some aspects of flute playing at a more fundamental level, including articulation, tone production and dexterity, as well as an introduction to some popular extended techniques.

Practice rooms will be available to all participants in Trinity College, which is approximately 3 minutes walk from Sidney Sussex College.

CONCERTS:

Participants have the option to play in the recital on the 7th of July, again accompanied by Jose Menor. The concert will be in the Chapel and open to the public. The participants will also be able to hear Ransom Wilson himself, and Daniel Alexander, in concert on the evening of the 3rd.
