Lyra Baroque: Cornetto Workshop with Bruce Dickey

Bruce  Dickey is one of a handful of musicians worldwide who have dedicated  themselves to reviving the cornetto – once an instrument of great  virtuosi, but which lamentably fell into disuse in the 19th century. The  revival began in the 1950s, but it was largely Bruce Dickey, who, from  the late 1970s, created a new renaissance of the instrument, allowing  the agility and expressive power of the cornetto to be heard once again.

This  workshop/masterclass is open to ANYONE that is interested in learning  the basics of cornetto playing. Common winds that take up cornetto are  recorder, trumpet, oboe, and even voice!
