Music of Our Time with Torbay Symphony Orchestra and
The Vivaldi Experience with Devon Baroque

This autumn Dartington Plus has teamed up with local partners to bring two weekend-long music residencies to Dartington that will provide opportunities for both musicians and audiences.

The first weekend, entitled Music of our Time, takes place on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd October in partnership with Torbay Symphony Orchestra and focuses on the exploration and celebration of 20th century classical music.

The weekend comprises interactive creative workshops as well as electronic jam sessions, talks and discussions. There will also be an open concert exploring Electroacoustic music by Marion Wood on Saturday 21st and a finale concert by Torbay Symphony Orchestra on Sunday 22nd featuring music by John Cage, Maurice Ravel, Ohana, Lutoslawski and Gavin Bryars.

Music of our Time is ideal for all those interested in broadening their knowledge, understanding and experience of contemporary classical music, particularly A’ Level, Undergraduate, gifted and talented GCSE and adult musicians/students.

A Weekend Pass gives access to all workshops, talks and concerts, plus a baguette lunch on Saturday, and costs just £35 or £25 for students.

The second weekend is The Vivaldi Experience, a celebration of the life and works of the great composer that takes place on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th November in partnership with Devon Baroque and Totnes Early Music Society. The weekend will include instrumental workshops, discussions, films and three concerts by Devon Baroque and special guests, including a Sunday morning concert especially for families and young people.
