SHMF Mandolin Workshop - July
24th-30th 2017 Lübeck, Germany
Dear Mandolin friends !
This summer, from July 24th-30th, I am giving a
workshop for mandolin players at the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival.
The workshop will be held at the festival’s
headquarters in Lübeck, Germany. The idea is to create a huge mandolin
orchestra (my dream is to get to 100 people!) which will perform in one of the
festival’s most beautiful venues on July 30th. The application is open to
all levels of players, in three parallel (and flexible) programs:
1. Amateur individuals - mandolin, mandola
and guitar players who will join to one big orchestra. This group will have
daily rehearsals, both in sections and with the whole orchestra, lectures and
masterclasses, and will of course perform in the final concert. Anyone at the
level of playing in a mandolin orchestra (reading music) is welcome!
2. Mandolin Orchestras - I would like to
encourage mandolin ensembles to attend together as a group. Besides being part
of the big orchestra, we will encourage them to do one smaller concert in Lübeck
in one of the workshop’s evenings, featuring their group.
3. Advanced players (and/or students), to
whom we will give also individual lessons, and who will also have the
opportunity to perform in the final concert in a smaller chamber group comprised
of players from the advanced level or a solo with the orchestra. They will also
take part in the big orchestra.
The festival offers quite a great deal - the classes
are for free, accommodation and full board for the whole week will cost only 215
EUR per person.
I’ll be joined by two other teachers: Shaul Bustan
and Steffen Trekel.
Information and application can be found here: https://www.shmf.de/en/
(For German: http://www.shmf.de/workshop). The
brochure is attached.
The deadline has been extended to May 1st.
Hope to see you this summer!
All the best,
Avi Avital
