Join your Hidden Valley friends (and new friends) for this 5 day online early music workshop which will excite the brain and give you joy!
Each fall we conduct an Early Music workshop with director Letitia Berlin and other stellar faculty here at Hidden Valley Music Seminars in Carmel Valley, CA. This year, due to COVID-19, we will be hosting this workshop online.
Revel in the lyrical sounds of the recorder, viola da gamba, and dulcian as you nurture your musical gifts. Enhance your skills, technique, and musical knowledge in classes taught by expert instructors. On some evenings, sit back and enjoy the Early Music faculty and Hidden Valley faculty perform exclusive online concerts. We will conclude the week with a Friday night open mic for students.
