Amherst Early Music
Memorial Day Weekend 2012
Wisdom House, Litchfield, CT.
Kick off the summer with a weekend of small and large ensembles on an idyllic campus in rural Connecticut. The Amherst Early Music Weekend Workshops are smaller, more relaxed versions of the summer festival. Take classes in a variety of subjects for most of the day -- repertory, notation, technique, and ensembles -- and in the evenings enjoy all-workshop group sessions (kind of like Collegium at the Festival) and a Sunday night faculty concert. There's also English country dancing and the companionship of your fellow musicians.
Tuition $250, housing; Room & board to be announced shortly.
