In Antwerp (Belgium), an orchestral course for amateur musicians with Il Gardellino

From 8 to 13 February 2027, the Baroque orchestra Il Gardellino will organise an orchestral course in Antwerp for amateur musicians for the first time.

The orchestra will rehearse under the artistic direction of Marcel Ponseele, while participants will also benefit from guidance from members of the ensemble. The course will conclude with a concert at AMUZ in Antwerp. The programme will include orchestral works by G. P. Telemann, J. S. Bach and G. F. Handel.

The course is open to amateur musicians of all ages interested in historically informed performance practice. Previous experience in this field is an advantage but is not required. A good command of one’s instrument is, however, essential.
