Viola master class: how physical ease supports musical expression

Program

Viola Masterclass

This masterclass explores the connection between instrumental gesture and musical expression, placing the body at the heart of viola practice. Vinciane Béranger, a violist renowned for her pedagogy centred on listening and physical freedom, offers a resolutely musical approach in which every gesture becomes a vehicle for expression. In dialogue with her, Matthieu Belmont, a physiotherapist specialising in musicians, deciphers the physiological and biomechanical mechanisms at work, enabling you to integrate these principles with precision and confidence.
