Two inspiring weeks full of music, connection, and creativity – surrounded by nature and the Mediterranean charm of Hotel Balatura.

Both weeks can be booked separately or together.

Week 1: Listen – Practise – Play
September 5 – 12, 2026

This week is all about mindful musicianship – listening, perceiving, and understanding music.
We dive into different scales and modes, feel their tensions and movements, and learn to improvise more freely and fluently.

All exercises are designed with varying levels of difficulty, so everyone can progress at their own pace.
You’ll take home a clear sense of how to practise – a tool for your daily musical work.

Recommended for anyone who wants to sharpen their ear and deepen their musical expression.

Week 2: Play – Play – Play
September 12 – 19, 2026

This week focuses on playing together.
Regardless of style, we arrange, compose, and improvise in small and larger ensembles – experiencing how vibrant music grows from many voices coming together.

Perfect for those who love making music in dialogue and want to expand their musical communication.

Who Can Join

Everyone who enjoys making music and plays an acoustic instrument is welcome – whether it’s guitar, flute, violin, clarinet, accordion, harmonica, or any other.

No special skills are required – what matters most is the joy of listening, joining in, and discovering new musical possibilities.
More experienced players will find space here to explore, exchange ideas, and be inspired.
