An Afternoon of Playing
Throughout the afternoon, participants were able to play through
works for ensembles of 3 to 12 violas, including pieces performed
at our Collegial and Multiple Viola Concerts.
Lecture/Demonstration:
- String Secrets. Fan Tao, string developer for D'Addario Strings,
spoke about varieties of strings, their tone and other properties,
and how to choose them. Fan is currently developing a new A-string
for the viola.
Get Together
A reception followed the afternoon's activities. A fine afternoon
for old and new friends to get together.
