Summer Klezmer Workshop In the Southwest

[Packer, Danny <packer...>]

Albuquerque Academy Klezmer Camp
June 23-27, 2003

Set in the foothills of the Sandia mountains on the lush 300+ acre campus of 
Albuquerque Academy, this weeklong workshop features internationally acclaimed 
tsimbalist and accordianist Josh Horowitz, from the group Budowitz, and 
renowned Holocaust educator and fiddler Cookie Segelstein. Following mornings 
of music, you can hike on our private wilderness tract or on the many acres of 
public land nearby.  Or explore the cultural resources of the Albuquerque/Santa 
Fe area.

This class is open to anyone who can play simple tunes on their instrument.  
You do not have to read music or be familiar with Klezmer style.  We encourage 
both solo players and existing ensembles to participate.  Class will run daily 
from 9 AM until noon. Informal practice and jam time possible in the 
afternoons.  An optional Yiddish culture program will also be available.  $200.

The week will conclude with a student concert and a concert by Cookie and Josh 
on Friday evening.

This weeklong workshop could be a great start or end to a southwestern summer 
vacation or a vacation unto itself.

Although we are not setting up any formal arrangements for housing, we can 
offer a bit of informal advice.  In addition, the school has a rustic cabin, 
located in the foothills of the beautiful Sandia Mountains, a few minutes drive 
from the main campus. Call about this if you're interested.
