International Academy of Mandolin

[Jim Garber]

This just in from Carlo:

This is to let you know that we introduce the first International Academy of Mandolin for the diffusion of the Italian art of mandolin playing. A one week workshop given in different languages, for every level with the aim of learning, improving and perfecting the style and original Italian technique of mandolin playing with concerts, ensemble playing, chamber-music and collateral activities directed by Carlo Aonzo, one of the most virtuoso mandolin player on international level.

This will happen September 10-17, 2006. More information here (http://www.aonzo.com/docs_en/acca/accademia_uk.htm).

Jim,

Thanks for this. This looks incredible, partly because of all the time I've spent in Liguria and know the region well: the Riviera dei Fiore as they call it. It kinda reminds me of the Jersey Shore-an overlooked part of Italy. The food, wine and scenery are great, if somewhat overshadowed by other parts of the country.

This might be worth moving some schedule around for.
