Saturday 24 July - Saturday 31st July 2010
The spectacular coastline of Cardigan Bay in West Wales is a fine backdrop for this inspirational week of Living Music. Aberystwyth MusicFest is an enticing fusion of Music Festival and Summer School; of experience and learning; of performance and appreciation.
An intensive week of harp study under the skilful guidance of Eleanor Turner, winner of the 2007 European Harp Competition, is open to players of grade 7 standard and above.
Eleanor will offer personal advice on choosing and preparing repertoire for competitions and concerts. She has herself attended summer courses with many of the great harpists including Catherine Michel, Susann McDonald and Erika Waardenburg. The knowledge, insight and encouragement garnered from these courses has been a continual source of motivation for Eleanor in her career thus far, so she has high hopes and aspirations for her own course participants at MusicFest!
A library of solo and harp ensemble music will be available for trying and buying, courtesy of Morley Harps.
