VIOLIN Melodies from Central Poland

Led by Mateusz Niwiński
For intermediate players – you need to bring your own instrument and be able to repeat melodies by ear

We invite you to an instrumental workshop dedicated to Polish three-measure melodies from selected traditions of Central Poland. We will work on several melodies, focusing on their rhythms, bowing techniques, variations, and repetitions, and we will explore their vocal core. Beginner violin players welcome.
