Hello, friends!
Please forgive the mass mailing. I'm trying to get the word out about three terrific workshops where I'll be teaching lute/theorbo/guitar/continuo this summer. Please do me the favor of forwarding this to anybody who might want to be aware: students, friends, colleagues, professors, etc. !!!! Many thanks in advance! Lucas Harris Click on the links to download brochures and application forms and to get more information about faculty/housing/fees, etc. You may also send questions to me directly or to the contacts listed below for each of the workshops. [1]Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute (TBSI) June 4-17 at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, Ontario Application deadline: March 20, but has been extended (applications are still being accepted) FMI: [2]Charlotte Nediger TBSI is an intense 14-day residency in Baroque performance practice with faculty from the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. Offerings are vast, including lute masterclasses and presentations on special topics, continuo classes, vocal/instrumental/mixed ensembles, orchestra, opera workshops, Baroque dance classes, private lessons, special lectures and presentations. This year will be the eighth annual TBSI, and this very tightly organized workshop was extremely strong from the beginning and has gotten even better with each year. The overall level of the participants is pretty tough to beat. Financial assistance/scholarships are sometimes available - inquire for details. [3]Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute (BPI) June 21-July 5 at Oberlin Conservatory, Oberlin, Ohio "Music in London, 1659-1759: from the birth of Purcell until the death of Handel" Application deadline: May 1 FMI: [4]Catharina Meints or [5]Anna Hoffmann BPI is now in its 38^th year, and offers a strong faculty, unmatched facilities (including one of the best music libraries in the U.S. as well as a new theorbo and Baroque guitar by Michael Schreiner which are available to students), and a generous offering of masterclasses, faculty concerts, lectures, chamber music opportunities, and classes in topics such as Baroque dance and continuo. It is possible to attend only week 1 or week 2 of BPI, though attendance at both weeks is strongly encouraged. I can offer one special tuition scholarship for one advanced lute student who can attend both weeks and hasn't attended BPI before, and there may be work/study positions available. New this year is that I'll be offering a beginning lute class (for those without any previous experience) in addition to the regular lute morning masterclass. [6]International Baroque Institute at Longy (IBIL) July 24-August 2 at the Longy School of Music, Cambridge, MA "The Venice-Dresden Connection: A Seminar on Baroque music of Italy and Germany." Application deadline: May 1 FMI: [7]Phoebe Carrai The Longy Institute features a stellar international faculty and offers eight full days of masterclasses, ensembles, coachings, student & faculty performances, lectures, projects, etc., all at the Longy School right around the corner from Harvard square. IBIL really has a special collegial atmosphere and an extremely strong participant level, as well as a fantastic and dedicated faculty. Work/study positions are available. -- References 1. http://www.tafelmusik.org/training/tbsi/tbsi.htm 2. mailto:cnedi...@sympatico.ca 3. http://www.oberlin.edu/con/summer/bpi/ 4. mailto:cathy.mei...@oberlin.edu 5. mailto:anna.hoffm...@oberlin.edu 6. http://www.longy.edu/summer/baroque_inst.htm 7. mailto:pcar...@earthlink.net To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
