Ethno Germany

Ethno Germany is a folk and traditional music camp for young musicians from all over the world. Between 10-19 August, 2017, around 40 enthusiastic participants primarily aged between 16 and 26 will gather at the beautiful Castle Lichtenberg near the town of Kusel to play, teach and learn traditional music from all over the world.

We will get to know each other, exchange ideas and share experiences. But most of all, we will explore diverse cultural backgrounds and reinvent traditional music. Ethno Germany is about the people you will meet, the music you will play and the joy you will have.

Whether you have been trained in classical music, your repertoire consists mainly of jazz compositions or you know the global folk music scene inside out; whichever instrument you play or which register you sing in; whether you consider yourself a professional musician or a hobby instrumentalist, Ethno Germany’s unique approach will benefit all participants equally through a lively mixture of jam sessions, workshops and performances.
