ETHNO
July 5th – 12th 2002
If you
- Are 16 - 25 years old and a skilled instrumentalist or singer...
- Want to meet young musicians from other countries and learn about their
music...
- Like to teach your music to others, make friends and have a very good
time...
Then ETHNO 2002 could be the highlight of your summer!!!
ETHNO welcomes
all instruments including vocal traditions. All participants will get
practice in adapting their music to other instruments than their own.
The 13TH
annual international folk music camp ETHNO
will take place in the summer
of 2002.
Over the years it has become an important meeting place for a new generation
of folk musicians and influenced many young people from all over
the world. Every year musicians from ten to twelve different countries
– From Europe, Africa, Asia and America – participate in the
camp.
ETHNO is based on workshops,
where the participants teach each other. The teaching and learning will
mainly be by ear, but written music can be used for support. ETHNO is
not based on performances, but you will have the opportunity to present
your music and what you’ve learned by participating at some concerts,
evening dances and street performances. Ethno is not a contest or competition.
ETHNO 2002
as usual takes place in Falun, a small Swedish town 250 km northwest of
the capital Stockholm. The closing event of the camp takes place during
the famous Falun Folkmusik Festival - July 10th – 13th 2002 - an
international folk music festival with top artists from all over the world
and tens of thousands enthusiastic visitors! The festival is the major
folk- & world music event in the Nordic countries.
