Workshop and Discussion with Jennifer Publicover
NSRMTA Halifax Chapter
Friday Nov. 8, 2019, 1:00-2:30pm
St. George’s Round Church
2222 Brunswick St., Halifax
There is a growing awareness of and appreciation for the unique musical vocabularies of earlier periods of Western classical music – Baroque, Renaissance, and Medieval. Many of today’s classical music professionals may receive the bulk of their training from a generalist modern perspective. However, there are now more opportunities than ever to take advantage of research and investigations that have unveiled wonderful earlier aesthetic worlds and modes of expression which can still speak meaningfully to us in our modern age, as we seek to engage with them anew and make them our own.
Flutist Jennifer Publicover shares her ongoing journey as a classically-trained professional into the period practices of earlier times for teachers who would like to undertake their own explorations. Topics will include: opening up the senses to a different musical vocabulary; engaging with the learning curve; bringing new knowledge into the teaching studio and sharing with students; creating community and infrastructure; challenges and practical considerations for teachers; and other topics as per the interests of the participating teachers. This time together will also include musical examples. Open discussion from participants is warmly invited; participants are also invited to play on Jennifer’s Flemish-model Martin harpsichord, which resides at St. George’s.
Jennifer Publicover (MMus, BMus, MES) is the founder of the Halifax Institute of Traditional and Early Music at St. George’s Round Church and a performer and teacher on the modern flute, traditional Irish flute, and Baroque flute. For more information, visit: www.jenniferpublicover.com..
