Mandolin Workshop with Avi Avital

July 16-22, University of Music Lübeck

In the year of the mandolin, we invite mandolin players from the age of 18, beginners with at least two years of playing experience, amateurs, semi-professionals, students and anyone who enjoys playing their instrument to become part of the largest mandolin ensemble in Schleswig-Holstein. In six intensive rehearsal days, a colorful program will be rehearsed under the direction of Avi Avital and other experts in plucked instruments. In order to be able to put together a strong-sounding mandolin orchestra, we are also looking for people playing the guitar, mandola, mandoloncello and double bass, who will enrich the workshop with the timbres of their instruments.
