Selianitika is a typical Greek Fishing Village but does not have “Fish and Chips”, “Cups of Tea Like Mother makes”
and “Full English Breakfast” to spoil it. The waterfront and narrow beach, which is an EU Blue Flag beach, is of fine shingle. There is no tide .
The temperature in August , when we will be there should be around 30C during the day. (The high summer temperatures are between July 15th and August 15th . )
It is used mainly by Greek people who take a siesta in the afternoon then enjoy themselves until late! So when in Rome – Greece , do as the locals do.
Hellenikon Idyllion is set amongst orange and fig trees all of which are there for the picking, with grape vines climbing the pergolas.
The beach is just 10 metres from the front gate, oleander trees with Hollywood swings and sun-beds that can be used to sleep out
under the stars are dotted around the grounds.
This full time centre for music making offers unique opportunities for orchestral, choral and chamber music. It is about 3-4 hours from Athens using local buses and trains.

The recommendation is the 06.30 Easyjet from Gatwick. Yes I know, another early start but it also returns at a sensible time in the afternoon.
The chartered bus will leave the airport around 1430hrs. Depending on flight times notified by April 30th
Rehearsals will take place early in the morning before it gets too hot and again in the cool of the evening.

Speaking Classic Greek
and reading profound writings
Relaxing in Greece and - at the same time - improving one's language knowledge-
doesn't that sound interesting?
There is only one place where this opportunity is offered. High School and University Students
and adults from different countries meet in a large, shady garden near the sea; together they discover that they can
uphold conversation, read and talk about entertaining
and intellectual texts, all in the language Plato spoke.
At the same time the vacation facility Hellenikon Idyllion also accommodates musicians and people interested in culture and arts;
lectures and concerts are offered to the guests on several evenings.
It is possible to visit an old antique theatre and watch the performance of a play there.
The Hellenikon Idyllion is located at the northern coast of the Peloponnesian close to Aigio,
a traditional town drawing the attention mostly to Greek guests.
The owner is supporting the seminar in Classic Greek by offering free accommodation
(shared rooms) for the participants if available.
On request he also arranges accommodation in single or double rooms.
Costs of Seminar - for two weeks: 200,- €; for students 150,- €

May 20th- 28th
from Meeresburg Germany
Conductor: Szabolcs Galanthay
1. Historical setting. Young masters.
In Meersburg culture can be found around every corner. It is visible not only in the wrinkled faces of the old, timber-framed houses but also in the old castle s mighty walls protecting the lake and the city, and the New Castle that unites tradition and modern age under one roof. And the culture also shows in the "Knabenmusik Meersburg", which keeps alive the music between vintages and Romanticism, custom and baroque, trend and tradition with its boys and young men between the age of 10 and 18.
It shows in the selection of their pieces as well as in their presentation - as the independent interpretation of past masters, as very individual performances of the classical modern age , as first - class concerts on a small or large scale. The responsible body for the KM is the town of Meersburg. Since its foundation in the year 1953, the youth brass band has developed into a integral part of the culture in the town; just as boys in other cities are praised as "best goaltender" or "best goal scorer", Meersburg s boys are artists at their brass instruments. Consequently, the orchestra s open seats are highly sought after. The selection procedure is demanding - it is a challenge and a confirmation of extraordinary achievement for all musically talented young men to be admitted into this first - class community. And of course it is also a guarantee for an extraordinary performance for anyone who invites the KM into his or her home.
2.Daily life in Meersburg. Experiencing music.
In Meersburg, a special procession of young men dressed in the traditional red, black and white rococo-costume is the sign that the beautiful season is on its way. Weekly concerts (held on Mondays in the New Baroque Palace) show how intensive practice was during the winter months. It pays off, of course; the success of the boys from Meersburg is immortalized on CD and cassette. Radio and television stations invite them to challenging concerts, which the young musicians master splendidly.
The "Friends of the KM' (an organization providing financial support), parents and relatives support the very committed boys who captivate people worldwide with their sound and draw people s attention to the wonderfully romantic and ancient little town.
3.Standing in the limelight. Training in a team.
Others take their sports bag and bring home muddy shirts, a bad cold and, in the worst case, break a leg. Fortunately, the pastime of Meersburg s artists stimulates the ears instead of causing blue marks and fractures. Our young men do not go to practice less often than others do; however, they accomplish a great deal where music is concerned.
The professional pedagogical education and looking after by the teachers of the youth music school, founded to prepare the younger generation for the future, is a sort of training. Whoever is willing to come to practice regularly (several times a week), to give his best on many weekends and on concert tours and to defend his permanent place in the team has found his "sport" in the KM. It is an open secret in town that guys with special talents meet in the KM.
4.Experiencing community. Learning for life.
Where else do youths made their first steps onto the international scene as carefree as here?Music opens doors and unites people. Passion for music and fun in the community are inseparable in the KM. everyone finds his place and, along with his own responsibility, his individual position in the team. The selection of pieces is greed upon together. Contemporary, classical or entertainig - the repertoire is not out - of - touch but recognized worldwide. Most of our boys keep the love of music for the rest of their lives. It leaves them with a stylistic sensitivity that the ear can never forger and might even determine their future professional career.
Following the KM, lost young men join the "Stadtkapelle" (the other orchestra in town). Their excellent work t musical performances as well as the way in which they deal with each other has become famous.
5.At home in the world. Living in Meersburg.
As ambassadors in matters of music, the young men from Meersburg go on a big trip each year, to the United States, for example. To Hungary or Norway. To the world exhibition (EXPO) in Hanover, to Brussels or Moscow. The musicians from Lake Constance are often invited to special events on the international scene. With their traditional costumes, they bring the ideal appearance, the appropriate repertoire and an outstanding performance in front of a demanding audience.
Again and again, international critics praise the young musicians unusual quality. The well-earned reward is excellent results at international competitions: a reward to the boys from Meersburg who know that the world can be won with music!

The Traverser Sax Quartet on their
Summer trip to
Europe
LIVE!
The Traverser Saxophone Quartet
The Traverser Saxophone Quartet was formed in September of 2002 when four saxophone teachers from colleges and universities in the Northern West Virginia/Southern Pennsylvania region collaborated. The idea behind the quartet was in the name Traverser, or "crossing over." This can be explained by the varied music that the group performs - everything from core classical repertoire to jazz and funk styles. Also, the members switch instruments throughout the performances, creating a continuously varied ensemble texture.
Seeking out new music is one of the TSQ's main objectives. Such great American composers as Walter S. Hartley, David Williams, and Christopher Tilley have already dedicated works to the TSQ, but the music does not end there! Spiros Mazis(Greece) and Server Acim(Turkey) are currently composing new works for the TSQ.
The TSQ has already given concerts across the states of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. They hosted the first annual Traverser Saxophone Symposium at West Virginia Wesleyan College in February, 2003, and founded the Appalachian Saxophone Orchestra. The second annual Traverser Saxophone Symposium is scheduled to be held at West Virginia University on March 5, 2004.
MusiciansCurtis Johnson, Associate Professor of Music at West Virginia University, has been on the WVU faculty for fifteen years. He received his Master of Music degree in saxophone performance from West Virginia University and his Bachelor of Music Degree from West Liberty State College. Mr. Johnson's career continues to expand into wider regions as performer, soloist, clinician, adjudicator, and conductor. Mr. Johnson has been the conductor of numerous All-County and All-CityJazz Ensembles as well as the Maryland All-State Jazz Ensemble. Mr. Johnson has performed for or has been in the opening act for such performers as Ray Charles, Little Anthony, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Jeffrey Osborne, Wynton Marsalis, Chicago, The Temptations, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and Hall and Oates. He has performed as soloist with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra and worked as arranger and performer with the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra and substitute for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. He has also performed on and produced numerous radio and television commercials, compact disc recordings, and film scores. In 1999, Mr. Johnson and his band, The Real Silk Band, released their first CD entitled Metamorphosis. The Real Silk Band was named the 1999 winner of the Harry S. Schwalb Award as Pittsburgh's best jazz band and the 2000 and 2001 radio station WAMO award for best jazz performance. Mr. Johnson is also an Artist/Clinician for the Yamaha Corporation of America.
Michael Sakash, Assistant Professor of Instrumental Music at Washington & Jefferson College, is an active performer and educator with experience in jazz and classical genres. He holds a masters degree from the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, NY, and bachelors degrees in music education, jazz studies, and classical saxophone performance from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He has studied the classical saxophone repertoire with Lynn Klock, improvisation with Yusef Lateef, woodwinds with Dr. Ramon Ricker, and composition and arranging with Fred Sturm. As a saxophonist Michael Sakash has performed with the Rochester Philharmonic, the Erie Symphony, and recently performed the Glazounov Concerto with the Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra. As a jazz saxophonist he has backed up performers such as Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler, and Eliane Elias. He regularly performs with many of Pittsburgh's top jazz musicians.
David Wright, Assistant Professor of Music at West Virginia Wesleyan College has performed both classical and jazz saxophone throughout the United States, Honduras, Finland, Estonia, Peru and Russia. Mr. Wright has appeared with The Temptations, The Four Tops, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Mary Wilson, The O'Jays, Regis Philbin, The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, King Konga, Bobby Senabria, These Three Tenors, Eddie Mekka, and Dave Samuels. Some selected classical saxophone performances include appearances with the Louisiana Sinfonietta, Meridan Symphony, Mississippi Wind Band, Tupelo Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Victoriano Lopez Camerata (Honduras), and the Natchez Opera. David holds a B.M.E. from the State University of New York, College at Fredonia, a M.M.E. from the University of Southern Mississippi, and is a D.M.A. candidate at the University of Southern Mississippi. He has studied saxophone with Laurence Wyman, Lee Patrick, and Lawrence Gwozdz. Mr. Wright is an Artist/Educational Specialist for C.G. Conn-Selmer Inc.
Jonathan Brink is currently seeking a master's degree in saxophone performance from West Virginia University where he studies with Curtis Johnson. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point where he studied saxophone with David Hastings and composition with Charles Rochester Young. In addition to his graduate studies,
Jonathan is teaching clarinet and saxophone at Fairmont State College, and he is teaching saxophone at Frostburg State University. As a classical saxophonist Jonathan has performed many solo and chamber recitals, and as a jazz musician, he has had the pleasure of backing great musicians such as John Scofield, Clark Terry, Jeff Hamilton and the Clayton Brothers.

Singing and Feldenkrais
a movable voice in a movable body
Course instructor: Christine Rahlf
Course fees and information on request: email: christinerahlf@wanadoo.fr
Description of the course:
This course will interest
All those, amateurs or professionals wishing to discover the voice’s
possibilities, to develop and
improve singing or to interpret a
work
(Lied, Opera , Oratorio…)
Individual classes allow each person to progress at their own pace
to find a comfortable and functional way of breathing,
to achieve an effective and authentic sound,
to sing with ease, and eliminate unnecessary movement and effort,
to develop voice technique: posture, articulation, relaxation, expression…
Active Learning process:
To learn = to discover oneself = to become aware
The application of this
method to voice
training, is designed to
develop a heightened sense of awareness,
through moving, sensing,
thinking,
imagining and to discover for oneself
how movement and
voice production interconnect.
“When I know what I am doing, I can do what I want” Moshe Feldenkrais
Biography Christine Rahlf:
German State Qualifications
in corporal expression and dance specialised in music for schools, voice training
and initiation
in the use of musical instruments (method Carl Orff).

in the world of theatre, television and dance led from Germany
to Switzerland,
Italy
and France,
where
she continued her singing studies while also taking part in master classes and
giving numerous recitals
and concerts (Lied, Oratorio).
Over
that time she has gained long experience in professional singing as a
member of the Zürich Opera
and the National Opera of Paris.
Following on “pedagogical meetings”
with Margeet Honig in the context of preparing the teaching diploma in singing,
and through studying
the M. Alexander technique she came to know the
Feldenkrais Method and is now involved in preparing
the professional
training course (a four year cycle)
The Feldenkrais approach has become the focus of her work as a singing teacher and her research into voice training.

Orfeus and Euredice , opera from Glueck
and the Hymns of Pindar from Spyros Mazis
With the "Opera studio Meran ", Italy, 100 Musicians
Conductor: Richard Sigmund
The international opera studio Meran managed by Prof. Richard Sigmund.
The international opera studio Meran will perform "Orpheus and Euredice"
from Christoph Willibald Glueck.
With concert and in costume - in the original
language and the
Athens and will perform in various ancient
theatres in Greece. It i
- in honour of the Greek poet Pindar and the winners athletes of all the Games
in ancient Hellas in Olympia, Isthmia and Pythia.
Hellenikon Idyllion spoke
with the jury member Werner Schulze,
Professor at the University of Music and Art Vienna,
How did the jury
judge the received compositions?
....We paid attention on certain characteristics,
for example whether the five ancient disciplines run, long jump, discus, javelin,
wrestling became effective, whether the metrical measure of Pindar’s text was
converted, how the orchestra
and the choir or speakers were used or how the
quality of a composition is jugged in general.
We did not prefer any specific
style; It was important to try to go towards a new direction.
We examined whether
the composer -by dealing with the topic- was able to develop his own view,
with
the courage to find and express his own personal language. Further it was important,
that people who are interested in music are able to find an access to the musical
representation of the topic.
The piece of work, which had a too popular style
or on the other hand a too avant-garde style one was less in demand.....
