SPECIAL EVENTS AT PLAY-INS
VACMS' principal activity is the organisation of its four Play-in days through the year. Many of these Play-in days include a special event of relevance to chamber players, such as a masterclass, workshop, or an informal concert where groups can perform a piece they have been working on. Or we might have a particular focus for the day, or organise a larger ensemble, for example an octet or a work for chamber orchestra.
These events are completely optional. Play-in attendees can elect to have a regular playing session if they prefer. Details of any upcoming special events are given on the Next Play-in page.

Try it and you'll find you're forced to listen intensely in a new way. Here the group members are being put through their paces in the third movement of Schubert's 'Trout" quintet.
