Music Enthusiasts Wanted!
Spring is in full swing here in Cape Breton. There are lots of activities underway and many more coming soon!
Something new this year is the Music Camp on the Canal which was inspired by the week-long program of workshops and jams we have been offering in the past five years during Celtic Colours. Music Camp on the Canal is designed for amateur players and singers, at beginner and intermediate levels of proficiency. If you can play a half dozen tunes by ear, you’ll be in good company for a rich weekend of hands, and feet-on musical experiences. And there are a couple of opportunities for absolute novices to learn a few square dancing steps, or take an introductory tin-whistle class.
On June 1-3, 2012, you are invited to an intensive weekend experience that will delight traditional music enthusiasts.
The Friday night reception features a welcome jam session, pub style - in the warm and inviting log-cabin Bras d'Or Lakes Inn. You'll meet your fellow campers and instructors in a casual setting, and sit in with everyone to explore your repetoire, and enjoy a drink or few and some snacks.
The Saturday is chock full of workshops - a communal lunch, some practice and goof-off time, a gourmet buffet supper....and then a concert at the acoustically exquisite United Church sanctuary - featuring workshop instructors and some very special guest performers. If you still have the energy, join a gang of local players for a late night jam at the Inn, after the concert.
On Sunday you have time to practice, visit with the on-site luthier, shop for cds and books, check out the village - and then enjoy a lovely lunch with performances from Band Lab and Songwriting workshop graduates.
It's going to be a great weekend. There is still time left to register!
