A last minute note to players of plucked string instruments. If you are
interested in Klezmer music and/or Yiddish culture, see below.
(I'm told that there still are some places available, but hurry...).
This year, as in other years, I will be teaching both an instrumental class
(open to all levels, any plucked string instrument), and leading a Mandolin
Orchestra (intermediate and up, again, any plucked string instrument).
I have been associated with this program for many years, and can tell you
that it is really, really great!
For more information or to reserve your place, call the number listed below.
For specific info on the plucked string program, please feel free to e-mail
me at warschauer (at) aol(dot)com
