Winter String Fling 2025

Join us for the Winter String Fling, an exciting three-day orchestral workshop for orchestral string players of all experience levels (minimum requirement: instrument independence). Running from 10 am to 3 pm, Monday 14 July to Wednesday 16 July 2025, this immersive program is led by TRCM string teacher Emily Bishop and offers a dynamic mix of ensemble playing, musicianship development, and fun activities.

Throughout the workshop, participants will engage in:

• Tutti rehearsals to develop ensemble skills and musicality.

The Winter String Fling culminates in a final concert on Wednesday, where participants will perform for family and friends, showcasing their progress in a supportive and celebratory atmosphere.
