Music masterclasses not just for students
 Music
In a first for the Elder Conservatorium of Music, members of the public now have the opportunity to attend a masterclass series being presented in 2009. At the masterclasses, international musicians of the highest standing will work with students from the 成人大片's Elder燙onservatorium. The series gives members of the public the chance to see and hear students being instructed by some of the best musicians in their fields. "Many music lovers are fascinated by the process behind the art, and masterclasses are a perfect example of how someone who is highly skilled in music imparts their knowledge and fine-tunes others' ability," said Elder Hall Concert Manager Ms Claire Oremland. "We hope this will become another exciting and regular part of what we offer music lovers in our yearly season of events at Elder Hall," she said. The first masterclass will be held in Elder Hall from 1.00-3.00pm on Monday 18 May and features Imogen Cooper. Recognised worldwide as a pianist of virtuosity and poetic poise, Cooper has established a reputation as one of the finest interpreters of the classical爎epertoire. The Head of Keyboard Studies at the Elder Conservatorium, Lucinda Collins, said this was "an incredible opportunity for students to work with such an inspirational artist as they begin their own journeys in music". Other artists in the series include violinist Adele Anthony, New York trumpeter and jazz musician Ray Vega, and chamber music with the Elias燬tring Quartet. Admission is just $10, or subscribe to all four爉asterclasses and get one free. For a brochure or further enquiries, call Claire on +61 8 8303 5925 or email: claire.oremland@adelaide.edu.au
