About The Workshop
With Lobke Sprenkeling's fascination and training in a multi-disciplinary approach to performance, and Michael Piraner's interest in the relationship between language and musical performance, you will learn ways to develop a rhetorical style of playing through a refined use of articulation.
This class takes a more analytical approach to Baroque pieces, exploring how rhetoric is integral to the art of storytelling within the music. We’ll discuss the structure of the pieces, the relationship between melody and harmony in storytelling, and how this relates to the articulations used. We will start with vocal music before moving on to pieces like Telemann’s Fantasia I, Philidor’s Recorder Sonata, and even journey back in time to Van Eyck’s variations.

About the tutors
Lobke Sprenkeling obtained her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees as a recorder player and theatrical performer at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and Utrecht Conservatory, Netherlands. She continued her studies at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, Spain, with a national scholarship from the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund. In 2016 she earned her music Ph.D. cum laude at the Universidad Politècnica de València. She also studied multidisciplinary theater from a musical perspective (Carlos III University, Madrid, and the Yale University Summer Program); her specific interest in the relationship between musician and body has led to her performing in and creating multidisciplinary works.
As a concertist, she has performed with several outstanding orchestras and ensembles specialising in early music, such as Les Talens Lyriques, La Ritirata, Concerto 1700, Ímpetus Ensemble, La Capella de Ministrers, Harmonia del Parnàs , La Academia de los Nocturnos, the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid, and her own ensemble Musickes Delight.
She taught recorder at the pre-conservatory program (ages 8-18) of the Conservatorio Profesional of Valencia (2007-16), and has taught in Europe, Mexico and the U.S. (sessions with the recorder societies in Phoenix, AZ, and Seattle, WA, and for Amherst Early Music). She write for the "Learn" column of American Recorder Society magazine.
She currently teaches the recorder at Madrid Royal Conservatory. She published her solo CD “Pulchra Es” in 2022 and taught at Lyon National Conservatory in France, in an Erasmus Program collaboration with recorder pedagogs Pierre Hamon and Sébastien Marq.
