Dear lute friends, teachers, students, enthusiasts,
April 15 is the application deadline for this summer's Baroque
Academy
at the Amherst Early Music Workshop, July 10â15 in New London,
Connecticut. We have openings for lutenists, theorbists and baroque
guitarists. Financial aid is available. Application info here.
(Select
"Baroque Academy for Instrumentalists. Registration fee waved for
applications submitted and paid before May 1.)
Baroque Academy is an auditioned, week-long, intensive workshop for
professionals, pre-professionals and advanced amateurs.
The central project for lute continuo players will be a staged
Erismena
by Cavalli in an original, seventeenth-century English singing
version.
The lutenists' major activity will be seventeenth-century Italianate
recitative accompaniment, focussing both on ensemble and dramatic
shading, through two daily rehearsal and coaching sessions.
Baroque Academy participants also take part in coached chamber music
ensembles and master classes.
This summer's Baroque Academy also coincides with the Lute Society
of
America's summer workshop on the same campus. Baroque Academy
students
can take part in master classes with LSA faculty, and LSA attendees
will be able to take part in the Cavalli. LSA is offering master
classes with Nigel North and Xavier DÃaz-Latorre. I teach the
Baroque
Academy lute master class and lead the band for the Cavalli.
