David Waterman: Techniques of Phrasing

Join world-renowned cellist David Waterman for Techniques of Phrasing, a captivating masterclass presented in collaboration with the Hans Keller Forum ensembles. This special event offers a unique opportunity to witness Waterman’s masterful approach to musical phrasing, tone, and interpretation, drawing on his decades of experience as a performer and educator.

A founding member of the celebrated Endellion Quartet (1979–2021), David Waterman has performed globally and recorded with Warner Classics, EMI, and Virgin Classics. Renowned for his deep musical insight, he is a regular collaborator with leading artists, including Joshua Bell, Imogen Cooper, Steven Isserlis, Isabelle Faust, and members of quartets such as the Amadeus, Elias, and Belcea.

In this masterclass, Waterman will guide four exceptional young ensembles through the subtleties of phrasing—how music breathes, communicates, and comes to life—offering invaluable tools for both emerging and seasoned musicians.

Tickets are free of charge but must be reserved in advance.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to learn from one of the most insightful and experienced chamber musicians in the UK.
