This advanced workshop will have a very high technical level, and is for advanced and professional musicians with extensive experience in Yiddish and/or Roma music, and strong music reading and playing-by-ear skills. The focus of the workshop in 2008 will be traditional style and repertoire. In 2009, the same faculty will explore contemporary and crossover repertoire and style. Join us for a 2-year exploration of the past, present, and future of Yiddish and Roma music cross-fertilization.

A special note: please help get the word out to brass players, too! With Dan Blacksberg, Paul Brody, Mark Rubin, and Adam Stinga, we have the strongest group of brass teachers ever gathered for an event of this kind. Don’t let them be lonely!

 

participation fee 290 € or 250 € (reduced),

For the Instrument Workshop Participants

In preparation for the workshop, we've chosen thirteen pieces of music as common repertoire for everyone to learn before arriving. We'll use these pieces to compare and contrast Yiddish and Roma style starting on the first day, so it's very important to learn them before arriving. We've created a link (see below) where you can download (downloadable till June, 30th!) two .zip files, giving you both the original mp3 recordings and Marin Buneau's written transcriptions of the pieces. In the transcriptions folder there are also instructions on how to work with the mp3s and transcriptions. We recommend that you download these files as soon as possible to give yourselves enough time to work with them before the workshop. If you have any difficulties, please let us know and we'll try to find another way to get the music to you.
