During one week a group of talented folk musicians from all over the world between 16 and 30 years of age will meet. We are looking for musicians who can teach their traditional music to the other participants during the workshops and who are interested in adapting the music of other countries for their own instruments. The teaching and learning will be mainly by ear. Bothl singers and instrumentalists are welcome.
