Ready to fiddle?

From Wednesday till Sunday you can follow different workshops. Each day, choose between 8 and 10 different music styles taught by professional fiddle players.

Level

The workshops are aimed at intermediate-level violinists, with additional sessions for more advanced players and one masterclass. Most workshops are taught entirely by ear, which means that no sheet music is used. Do you have doubts about the difficulty of the workshops? Feel free to contact us.

Instruments

All workshops are designed primarily for violinists (or viola players), with some sessions specifically tailored for cellists. That said, all instruments are warmly welcome to join the ensemble, as well as participate in some other workshops. Those workshops clearly specifies ‘open for all instruments’. These special workshops are highlighted in a different color.

Workshops

You can register for workshops per day. You’re welcome to join multiple sessions with the same teacher, but it’s not required. Each day is independent, so you can mix and match freely. The Ensemble on the Move is the only exception: you need to sign up for all three days. We kindly ask that you only attend the workshop you’ve registered for. Switching to a different workshop during the day is not allowed.

Timing

The workshops take place from 10:00 till 17:00 (Sunday till 16:30) with a lunch break from 12:30 – 14:00 at De Centrale.

See you at the 12th edition!
