Strings in Greece
Friday 26th May to Sunday 4th June 201y Enjoy a unique musical experience on the Greek island of Kythira, the southernmost of the Ionian islands. Unspoilt by mass tourism, Kythira offers a rich variety of beaches, villages and countryside. Greece in May and early June is a revelation to those who only know the country in summer – the air is fresh and all the hills and meadows are green and covered in wild flowers. The music making mirrors Greek island life, with rehearsals in the morning and early evening, leaving the afternoons for other activities. We arrange at least one (optional) walk during the course of the week and cover other areas of interest such as Greek cooking and dancing 
Our mainstay venue used for rehearsals and the midweek concert by the tutors, is an open-air amphitheatre www.zeidoros.gr only a stone’s throw from the sea in Kapsali .
The tutors, Fenella Humphreys (violin) and Adi Tal (cello) are recognised world-class performers, as well as both being great teachers - encouraging, informative and inspirational at all times. As well as joining in with our end of course concert they will be giving a concert of their own at some central island venue We will building on our memorable partnership with the island's wind band, the Potamos Philharmoniki with joint performances of a piece by Lully and a traditional Greek folk tune as well as renewing our support for http://www.kytherahiking.com/?lang=en
