Welcome
In its tenth year, the Isabelle Perrin Harp Workshop continues to offer an excellent opportunity for harpists of the Americas to study with one of today’s most renowned European teachers. Working with Isabelle Perrin, students gain a wealth of advice on stylistic interpretation, technique, practicing strategies, and preparation for competitions. As harp professor at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, member of the Orchestre National de France, and active international soloist, Isabelle Perrin is well placed to guide harpists along any career path.
As in years past, this year’s workshop will include a special clinic dedicated to another aspect of being a harpist beyond just playing the harp. Past subjects have included: harp repertoire, tuning, physical position at the harp, Baroque Music interpretation… Also, for harpists who are preparing chamber music or concertos, pianist Damien Luce will again be available for rehearsals and accompanying lessons.
The unique setting of northern Michigan allows students to enjoy quaint Traverse City and the natural beauty of its surrounding lakes, beaches and rivers, with activities planned throughout the week. The Interlochen Center for the Arts as well as many local festivals provide ample opportunity to attend concerts and films.
The precise dates, subject of the clinic, as well as the fees for 2012 will be posted soon. Registration will be open starting in February.
We hope to see you soon, for a workshop of intense learning and fun!
