Artist Café: Communication in Chamber Music (28th October 2020)

Matthew Jones, Donald Grant, Andrew Watkinson

Recordings are available in your account for 30 days from purchase date (or 30 days from class date if you attended live).

Matthew Jones (Head of Chamber Music at the Guildhall School) is joined by eminent chamber musicians including violinist Donald Grant (Elias Quartet) and Andrew Watkinson, leader of the Endellion Quartet (who have been playing together for 40 years!) to discuss the complex issues of how, when -and how not-to communicate in chamber music. What role can ‘ground rules’ of verbal communication play, and to what extent can we leave the communication to non-verbal means? How important is this to the musical results and to the longevity of a group?
