Dear Friends of Bulgarian Music & Dance,
The website for the 2008 Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar in
Plovdiv, Bulgaria is now almost complete and contains detailed
information about the teachers and daily schedule.
This Seminar is especially designed for non-Bulgarians (or Bulgarians
interested in connecting with their "roots" music and dance) who want
a more in-depth op****tunity to learn traditional instruments, singing
styles, and dance than is normally possible for groups or individuals
traveling to Bulgaria. This richly unique program couples the
knowledge of teachers at the Plovdiv Music Academy with tradition
bearers throughout the country. Many cl***** will be taught by village
"masters" from various regions in Bulgaria; the dance program, in
particular, features different groups of musicians and dancers
throughout the week, teaching dances from their own villages. A
Bulgarian language class will also be offered, as well as optional
evening social activities.

July 27, 2008 - August 2, 2008
Plovdiv, Bulgaria

A few things to note since last year's Seminar:
1) We've added cl***** in accordion and clarinet that will focus on
Bulgarian technique, styling and ornamentation.
2) We've extended the daytime schedule to better accommodate the
hugely successful after-lunch folk presentations by revered Bulgarian
masters and instrument makers.
3) We are offering both Thracian and Rhodope Mtn Bagpipe cl***** this
year.
Registration can be completed on-line. We are continuing our special
15% discount for EEFC members (this is another great reason to join
the EEFC! www.eefc.org ). 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.
