 Theme
Music of Spain - The Time of Ferdinand & Isabella to Late 16 c.
During the period we find native composers working both at home and abroad - as well as foreign composers working side by side in Spain.  As a result, new Spanish styles emerged, at times tinged with French and Italian characteristics.

The workshop offers -
Classes with experienced early music teachers - choice of classes on various early music topics - technique classes for your instruments
See class descriptions for 2009 classes

Comfortable accommodations in a new dormitory (one bath per double room)
