24 and 25 May 2025, Sat. 10 am - 5 pm, Sun. 10 am - 4 pmDirector: Frank Oberschelp Music of the European Hanseatic cities In the heyday of the Hanseatic League, almost 300 maritime and inland cities of northern Europe joined forces. Through free trade, these cities blossomed into centres of wealth, which is reflected in imposing brick churches and magnificent merchants' houses. But cultural life also flourished and left behind an interesting musical tradition. Let us take you on a musical journey around the Baltic Sea! In a large recorder consort, we will explore (Northern) European instrumental and vocal music from the 15th to 17th centuries. You can look forward to musical highlights from Germany, Denmark and Poland as well as exciting excursions to England, Flanders and the Netherlands. Immerse yourself in an intensive weekend full of fascinating music and the joy of playing! Discover the compositional peculiarities of the individual works by Senfl, Dulichius, Pederson, Tollius and Dowland, among others, in the historical context of the Hanseatic League and be inspired by the overarching similarities and cross-connections in the music of this period. Target group Recorder players who want to work on moderately difficult works. Mastery of at least two types in baroque fingering as well as octave reading on f instruments is required. Great and sub-basses, Renaissance recorders as well as other instruments are very welcome!

20 and 21 September 2025, Sat. 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., Sun. 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Direction: Manfredo Zimmermann The baroque dance Dance was omnipresent in past centuries. It played a special role in the music of the 17th and 18th centuries: everyone knew the different dances, could distinguish between them and at court (and also in the military!) you were socially excluded if you didn't know how to dance. In this workshop, we will focus on the different dances of this period. What was the tempo like? What rhythmic features characterised them? What was the inegal play all about? Which embellishments are suitable? We will try to answer these and many other questions. Theory and playing practice go hand in hand. Ultimately, it is the sound result that counts, which should be an invitation to dance. Important: the more low instruments are played, the better!

Susanne Fröhlich The Paetzold bass recorder seminar ... for the curious and interested This weekend is all about the Paetzold by Kunath bass recorder family. Under expert guidance, you will explore the diverse sound world of these special instruments and have a good dose of fun making music. From the assembly and disassembly of the square bass recorders, to blowing and playing techniques and general care, everything will be covered in this workshop and, above all, it will be shown how compact and manoeuvrable these sounding plywood recorders can be played, at least since their further development by Jo Kunath. The programme includes works from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Romanticism as well as tango and jazz arrangements and Avantgarde. Susanne's expertise goes far beyond playing the Paetzold, so all participants can look forward to lots of extra tips.
