Plucked String Offerings at KlezKamp, December 23-29 2003

[Warschauer <Warschauer...>]

There is still time to register (but hurry!) for KlezKamp: The 19th Annual 
Yiddish Folk Arts Program, which will take place from December 23-29, 2003, in 
Swan Lake, NY.  

Special offerings for plucked string players include: 

Plucked String Instrument Class

Open to all players of plucked string instruments (guitar, mandolin, etc.).   
 We’ll work on techniques especially applicable to playing klezmer 
instrumental music on plucked string instruments in ensemble and solo settings, 
and 
(depending on the participants’ interests) accompanying Yiddish vocal styles. 
   

Mandolin Orchestra (Singers Welcome!) 

This ensemble is designed for intermediate/advanced players of any plucked or 
struck string instrument: mandolin, guitar, string bass, tsimbl, etc., as 
well as for singers.  We’ll work partly by ear, and partly from written 
arrangements created especially for this year’s group.  

The instructor for both these classes will be Jeff Warschauer.
