I
would like to announce that registration is now open for the 15th Annual
Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Festival. Brochures will be going out this
week, but you can find the brochure on-line at: www.overthewater.org
The
Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Festival 2010 will be held September 14-19 at Fort
Flagler State Park near Port Townsend, Washington (USA)
The Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy
Festival brings together hurdy-gurdy players, builders, and teachers for
intensive instruction, jamming, fellowship, and good food. Classes cover
melodic techniques, rhythm, repertoire, and instrument setup and maintenance,
with instruction tailored for beginning through advanced players.
Evening events include instructor
concert, an open mike, and many jam sessions (including slow jams for those of
us who don’t learn at warp speed). On Saturday evening we will gather for a
dance party featuring live music by Festival participants, who collectively
form the largest hurdy-gurdy band in the Western Hemisphere.
Our instructors
this year are:
Thierry Nouat,
Hurdy-gurdy in the French Tradition; Tobie Miller, Early Music; and Scott
Gayman will be instructing beginners. There will be some Focus and Speciality
classes and Instrument Set-up and Maintenance.
Some loaner
instruments will be available at the Festival for use by players who don’t have
hurdy-gurdies of their own.
The Over the
Water Hurdy-Gurdy Association is a nonprofit group that promotes use and
enjoyment of the hurdy-gurdy and disseminates information to players and the
general public on all aspects of the instrument, including history, repertoire,
and playing techniques.
We hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please send an email to:
