Marshall can help anybody. He is a wonderful musician and a good teacher and so anyone who wants to try has a good chance to push through these difficult baroque pieces that are written specifically for the viola. This will be a good learning experience for any violist. We can find a part for anyone of any skill level provided they have some orchestral training.
The group will be working in an upstaisrs apartment. If you're interested, please contact Charles Waterman, cedar2110@netscape.com - and he can give you more details including the exact address. Parking in the neighborhood is difficult. All you need to bring is a stand; Music will be provided. Weaker violists are encouraged to attend the August 30 pre-workshop session as a warmup if they desire.
