This masterclass will focus on repertoire from the high baroque and classical periods through the lens of two of the most important bassoon resources of this time: Johann Joachim Quantz’s “On Playing the Flute”, and Étienne Ozi’s “Method for Bassoon”. Participants will examine ways to further embellish pre-composed melodies by way of a guided improvisation where participants devise embellishments informed by the treatises.

This session features a presentation by Margaret Phillips about how her work off the stage has gone beyond performing as entertainment, to places where playing has taken on new meaning. She will outline how we as musicians must understand the power of our language and its essential applications from homeless shelters to recovery programs, from food lines to hospice. Philips will also share her experiences as a Certified Music Practitioner in training and talk about the applications of playing for specific patient conditions.

“Nidra” means “sleep.” In this guided meditation we incrementally relax different parts of our bodies while our minds stay awake. In this deep state of relaxed awareness, we can let go of stress and set powerful intentions. Bring a pillow, blanket, and anything else that will help you lay down comfortably for 45 minutes.
