Week I, 2008: Fiddle music tamed this wild bunch!
Next summer Fiddling Demystified and Old Songs add a fourth week of camp to their other three at Old Songs Community Center in Voorheesville NY, just outside Albany. First week in early July is for ages 6-18, the second is for novice adults, with me, Jane Rothfield and Max Cohen teaching. The third is Fiddling Demystified for Strings camp for a second year with me, Max Cohen and cellist Renata Bratt from California teaching.
Getting back to my French-Canadian roots, the new fourth week is French Accent Camp, with Québecois musicians and teachers Pascal Gemme (fiddle, songs) and Yann Falquet (guitar, songs) from Genticorum and Marie-Soleil Pilette teaching stepdance and calling social dances. Nightingale’s Jeremiah McLane teaches piano and accordion and young Franco-American fiddle composer Daniel Boucher will teach his unique and popular repertoire and I will teach the fiddle music of Louis Beaudoin.
2009 Old Songs Camp website and registration forms are available online. We accept 30 campers for each week and we expect all four weeks to be popular this year. Send someone to camp next summer as a holiday gift!
CONTACT OLD SONGS (oldsongs AT oldsongs DOT org) to join the camp mailing list and for housing and registration information.
