Registration for the International Course on Medieval Music Performance at Besalú is still open! This year’s course will be July 8–23. Registration is per individual course, so please contact MMB directly to check availability for the specific program in which you’re interested.

Medieval Music Besalú is of the Foundation for Iberian Music’s many early music partners. They offer a variety of intensive courses in medieval music performance, in the beautiful medieval town of Besalú, Spain (Catalonia). At the festival, students may take classes in all aspects of medieval music, from medieval Latin and Pythagorean tuning to reading music manuscripts, with of course, many opportunities for coaching in vocal and instrumental performance. Highlights of the upcoming course will include workshops in the Carmina Burana and liturgical drama.

Classes are taught in English, and instruments are available for loan (subject to availability), so one does not need to travel to Europe with their own personal portative/citole/harp (etc) in order to participate. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!
