The Second Pan-European Shakuhachi Summer School/Festival

To all shakuhachi enthusiasts in Europe and beyond.

Although the preparations for The Second Pan-European Shakuhachi
Summer School 2007 or Rencontre Europenne du Shakuhachi 2007 is in its
early stages, we will announce the dates and place so we all can put
it into the calendar for next summer!

The Summer School will take place in 'Maison du Kleebach', between
Munster and Colmar, which is in Alsace, France, but close to the
German border. It is 80 km (or 45 min by car) from the airport in
Basel, Switzerland. 1 hour in car from Strasbourg and 30 minutes from
Freiburg in Germany.

The dates for the Summer School are: Wednesday 4th - Saturday 7th July
2007.

We will be in the mountains, surrounded by forests. Meals will be
included onsite, so the prices will be slightly higher than London
2006, but cheaper than doing the Summer School and surviving in London!

It will be fantastic! We will have a truly inspiring environment.
We surely hope to see everybody from London 2006 and the people who
couldn't come then.
The main responsible for the organisation of Colmar 2007 are Veronique
Piron and Jim Franklin.
If someone have a desire to host the 2008.... Let us know.
Making this Summer School travel in Europe is one of our aims, so
everybody has an opportunity to experience an event like this close to
where they live.

You can have a look at the website for 'La Maison du Kleebach'. It
looks beautiful! There is a map as well, so you can get an impression
of the location. Only in French:

See you all there!

Hello Kiku

Thank you for these good news. I've made a few stays in the Kleebach, it's a good choice.

Re: The Second Pan-European Shakuhachi Summer School/Festival

Hello Kiku

I had performances recently in the Czech Republic and was delighted to find a vibrant shakuhachi community there, led by Vlastislav Matousek. He was a student of Kifu Mitsuhashi and is an active composer. Since 2008 will mark the 40th anniversary of the Czech uprising against the former Soviet Union, known as "Prague Spring," there will undoubtedly be a lot of excitement there. You may wish to consider Prague as a location for the European festival. Besides Prague is a stunningly beautiful city.
