Nestled in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, Western Carolina University provides a lovely location for Mountain Collegium, with comfortable accommodations in a new dorm and catered evening meals. The workshop, at once informal and intensive, combines study of Renaissance, Baroque, and contemporary music and improvisation on recorder, viol, and other early instruments with opportunities to explore Celtic and other traditional music on such instruments as hurdy gurdy, mountain dulcimer, harp, and pennywhistle. Friendly participants of all levels and ages welcome newcomers into the Mountain Collegium family. Varied class offerings, time for informal music-making outside of class, and evening English country dancing bring students back year after year. Won't you join us in 2012?
