Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar in Plovdiv, Bulgaria - Summer 2010 - immediately following the Koprivshtitsa Folk Festival

[LarryWeiner]

We are pleased to announce that the website for the 2010 Bulgarian
Folk
Music & Dance Seminar in Plovdiv, Bulgaria is now available
(www.folkseminarplovdiv.net). The website contains detailed
information
about the 2010 teachers, daily schedule and prices. (There is a small
bit of information about some teachers that will be added later.)

This Seminar, now in its 6th year, is especially designed for
non-Bulgarians (or Bulgarians interested in connecting with their
"roots" music and dance) who want a more in-depth opportunity to
learn
traditional instruments, singing styles, and dance than is normally
possible for groups or individuals traveling to Bulgaria. This rich
and
unique program couples the teaching expertise of instructors at the
Plovdiv Music Academy with the traditional music and dance wisdom of
tradition bearers from around the country. Many classes will be
taught
by village "masters" from various ethnographic regions in Bulgaria;
the
dance program, in particular, features different groups of dancers
and
musicians throughout the week, teaching dances and songs from their
own
villages. A Bulgarian language class will also be offered, as well as
optional evening social activities.

Note: This year's Seminar has been scheduled to immediately follow
the
Koprivshtitsa Folk Festival, which takes place from August 6-8, 2010
in
Koprivshtitsa, Bulgaria (1 1/2 hour drive from Plovdiv). Bus
transportation from Koprivshtitsa to Plovdiv will be available to
Seminar registrants attending the festival.

Registration can be completed online. This year payment for the
Seminar
can only be made by bank transfer or on-site payment; details are on
the
website.

We are continuing our special 15% discount for EEFC members (this is
another great reason to join the EEFC!). Students from past years
have
raved about their experiences at the Seminar. (You can read some of
their comments on the website.)

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
