Who:
The workshop will be directed by Keith Harris. Keith is internationally known as a mandolin soloist, conductor, composer and educator. He held a teaching commission at the Music University of Heidelberg-Mannheim, was music director of the BDZ in the German state of Hesse, with numerous CD productions, concert tours and seminars throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, the USA and Canada. He is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, The Mandolin Game.
What:
We want to enjoy playing great music together. Because of the workshop atmosphere, we will have the time to talk about the music, technique, and the instruments, try things out, and ask questions – perhaps things you’ve always wanted to know, but were afraid to ask…
The program will be taken from:
Ensemble music:
Petit Bolero by the English composer Angy Palumbo Turkish March by Jovan Frajt
Trio Sonata by Gervasio (France, 18th century) Mandolin Concerto RV 425 by Antonio Vivaldi, Three Miniatures by Keith David Harris
Solo music:
Emphasis on music from the English-speaking world, which is less well-known in Europe. Keith speaks German and English, but whatever language you speak, you can be sure of an instant translation.
Cost:
EUR € 189 or CZK 4500 / person for adults
EUR € 120 or CZK 2900 / person for students (age 23 or younger)
