Berkenhage Flute Weekend
Location: Zedelgem, near Bruges, Belgium (in host’s large private house)
Dates: Fri 28th October to Sunday 30th October 2016
Tutors: Sylvain Barou (Breizh) & Brendan Mulholland (Ireland)
All meals and refreshments are included in course fee (except Sat night public session in local pub), also basic accomodation in the workshop venue (bring sleeping bag and mattress!).
Cost: €165 (cf http://users.telenet.be/berkenhage/nieuweberkenhagesite/rates.html)
Travel: It’s up to participants to make their own way to and from the venue, but lifts to and from stations or airports can usually be arranged through Raf. (No transport is needed during the weekend.)
It has been historically unusual for this wonderful and amazingly cheap weekend not to be more-or-less fully subscribed by past attendees (to whom first refusal is always given). Unusually, this year there are still several vacancies within the total 20 places available.
What do you get?
12 hours of lessons by two famous teachers (two sessions with each tutor)
2 breakfasts (Sat & Sun)
2 suppers (Fri & Sat)
2 excellent home-made dinners, vegetarian if you wish! (Marvellous Belgian food!)
1 sleeping place on the floor (do not forget your sleeping bag!)
2 evening sessions (Fri & Sat, the latter out in a pub)
1 late night slow air session (Sat)
Plentiful Belgian beer!
2 short nights
Some new tunes
Much flute-talk!!!
New friends
A great atmosphere
