The course masterfully combines rigorous musicological research with a vibrant reconstruction of performance practice. The principal objectives are:

The study of historical-informed techniques for the instruments included in the course.

The development and application of ensemble techniques appropriate to the performance of each repertoire.

The production of a performance for the closing of the course.
