The Minguet Quartett, supported by the Goethe Institut, visited MMC on Saturday 28 February 2026 to share advice about playing chamber music. We were treated to an open rehearsal where we could observe how they worked at a passage and then listened to an informal performance of that extract. Five chamber groups then spent time with the players being coached on chamber music they had been working at.
“I really enjoyed having the Minguet Quartett with us on Saturday, It was a privilege to see how they rehearse together. Quite eye-opening and I certainly learnt a lot from them. In fact I was passing on some of the tips at Replay last night! It was also good having the chance to play in a quartet and interesting to have the coaching. Again, gave me several things to think about.”
“It was an eye opening experience to understand a professional group’s practice routine, which though repetitive can only improve their ultimate performance.”
“It was useful to hear about the metronome practice.”
