Welcome to the San Diego Early Music Society’s
43rd Annual Weekend Workshop May 18-20, 2012
Early Music Cornucopia
Our workshop is held at the San Diego County School Camp on Palomar Mountain, in the State Park, and near the 200 inch Hale Telescope. This beautiful mountain valley provides fresh air, hiking trails, and even a fishing pond close by where you can safely dispose of unwanted capped double reeds. You will be provided warm dormitory sleeping facilities and wholesome family style meals.
Check-in begins at 4:00PM on Friday. You will receive class assignments and schedule at that time, and can set up in your favorite dorm. We will have potluck snacks only on Friday evening, followed by informal playing and singing in our William Byrd extravaganza. Join the group in the main hail or, for those with multiple personality disorder, form your own ensemble. Meals and Classes begin Saturday morning at 8:00AM. We will have a conducted grand consort for all on Saturday evening.
The
Annual California Crumhorn Conclave will take over the main hall for a bit of
fun and music of the capped double reed variety on Saturday night. Bring your
crumhorns, cornamusen, rackets, dulcians, kazoos and duck calls to play and
share.
The workshop will wind up around 4:00 PM on Sunday, after optional class performances and a concert by the faculty. At that point, you will have to go somewhere else for the next 363 days until the workshop in 2013.
We will have a table for your sale/trade of instruments, sheet music, used CDs or whatever things you wish to sell.
Please bring: Your instruments, a music stand, music to share for informal playing or singing, and snacks/drinks to share for Friday evening. Also bring your own bedding and towel, warm clothes and walking shoes. The School Camp does not allow pets or excessive nudity.
Emergency only camp phone is (760) 742-2128.
Cost: $255 for members and early birds (before May 10), $265 for non-members and late registration, $100 for students, although student scholarships are readily available. Fee includes classes, two nights lodging, and five meals.
