At 19:00 from Friday July 3rd until Wednesday July 8th

Labyrinth Online is excited to announce our Summer courses!

We will explore traditional and contemporary techniques of the Lyra of Istanbul (Istanbul kemençesi, klasik kemençe, πολίτικη λύρα/politiki lyra), with a focus on the repertoire of the lyra / kemençe players of Istanbul in 1900. Great importance will be given to improvisation and the analysis of specific makams.

* Players at any level are welcome, though beginners should be aware that they may not be able to follow everything.
* Players of related instruments are welcome (violin, other types of lyra, other bowed instruments)
* Players of other instruments are also welcome, if they are interested.

Cost is $120 (US) for 15 hours of instruction (3 hours/day for five sessions)
Registration includes access to video recordings of all classes.
