Sessions are open to the public and run concurrently in the Holywell Music Room (in person only) and the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building (in person and online).

Tutors will change venue halfway through the day whilst the Mastercourse students will be in two groups, each group remaining at a venue for the day.
