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.
