HKF: Masterclasses and Open Rehearsals

Witness the immersive behind-the-scenes preparation of great chamber music in masterclasses and open rehearsals.

Hans Keller Forum (HKF) is a ChamberStudio programme which provides in-depth mentorship for selected chamber ensembles from UK conservatoires. Coached by acclaimed chamber musicians Alasdair Beatson and John Myerscough, the 2023-23 ensembles are:

Quartet Concrète (Guildhall School of Music and Drama)

Trio Havisham (Royal Academy of Music)

Lark Trio (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland)

Talland Quartet (Royal Northern College of Music)

ChamberStudio provides coaching and support to tomorrow's chamber musicians. Our programmes deliver specialised training tailored to each ensemble’s needs, creating an inspiring and nurturing community for musicians who want to focus on chamber music as a central part of their career. Our masterclasses are open to observers, and our mission is to sustain and nourish the future of chamber music and to promote it as an accessible and great artform.
