Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar in Plovdiv, Bulgaria - Summer 2008
The website for the 2008 Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar in Plovdiv, Bulgaria is now almost complete and contains detailed information about the teachers and daily schedule.
This Seminar is especially designed for non-Bulgarians (or Bulgarians interested in connecting with their "roots" music and dance) who want a more in-depth opportunity to learn traditional instruments, singing styles, and dance than is normally possible for groups or individuals traveling to Bulgaria. This richly unique program couples the knowledge of teachers at the Plovdiv Music Academy with tradition bearers throughout the country. Many classes will be taught by village "masters" from various regions in Bulgaria; the dance program, in particular, features different groups of musicians and dancers throughout the week, teaching dances from their own villages. A Bulgarian language class will also be offered, as well as optional evening social activities.

A few things to note since last year’s Seminar:
1) We've added classes in accordion and clarinet that will focus on Bulgarian technique, styling and ornamentation.
2) We've extended the daytime schedule to better accommodate the hugely successful after-lunch folk presentations by revered Bulgarian masters and instrument makers.
Registration can be completed on-line. We are continuing our special 15% discount for EEFC members (this is another great reason to join the EEFC! www.eefc.org ). Students from past years have raved about their experiences at the Seminar. (You can read some of their comments on the website.) Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
