Boxwood New Zealand

BOXWOOD NEW ZEALAND 2012

September 30 - October 5, 2012
Waipu, New Zealand

Join us in beautiful & historic Waipu, New Zealand for five days of musical discovery and fun with David Greenberg (Cape Breton fiddle & baroque violin), Chris Norman (flutes, small pipes), and Barry Phillips (cello, composition); all artists who seek a broad context and canvas for their work and infuse their view of traditional music with influences as diverse as jazz, Irish, Acadian, Breton, classical Indian, and baroque idioms. Ther will be lots of traditional music & lots of opportunity for baroque and renaissance playing.

Students attend classes daily (Monday-Friday.) and are encouraged to spend time with each teacher during the course of the week with the aim of discovering connections between oral traditions, expanding musical vocabulary, learning new techniques, broadening their sense of the instrument, and enabling them to find their own musical voice. The evenings will be filled with social gatherings that include excellent meals, concerts, social dancing, informal gatherings and sessions of music-making with students and teachers alike. While the week in Waipu will obviously emphasize the fiddle, flutes, whistles, pipes, and cello, students and players of all instruments at all levels – novice and experienced are welcome. Non-players too!
