It’s the orchestral hero you didn’t know we needed! Martin Lawrence explores why the low horn is more significant than you might have previously thought.
Welcome to the magical, plangent, ghostly world of the ‘cor basse’. From the alphorn to Brahms, operatic cameos to Mozart’s Horn Concertos, Martin and a string quartet, will guide you through the specialist art of low horn playing.
Throughout musical history, horn players have divided into two camps – high and low – because the range of the horn is so large that no one player could master the whole lot. Dauprat, in his large tutor book on the horn, went so far as to say that a ‘cor basse’ player could die if they attempted to play ‘cor alt’!
Tickets: £15 suggested price - or 'pay what you choose' (from £8 minimum)
