Experience an unforgettable week full of music, groove, and inspiration!
The popular “Playing the Blues” workshop takes place twice in 2026:

August 22–29, 2026 – Hotel Balatura, Croatia
October 11–18, 2026 – Hotel Felbermayer, Austria

In this intensive course, Stef Rosen and Marko Jovanović invite you to dive deep into the world of the blues – with a strong focus on expression, interaction, and sound.
Learn how to explore the blues repertoire musically, interpret it creatively, and bring each song to life with your own personal touch.

This workshop welcomes all acoustic musicians – harmonica and guitar players, of course, but also violinists, flutists, accordion players, and other instrumentalists who play softly and acoustically.Brass players are very welcome too, as long as they use a mute.

Whether you play harmonica, guitar, or another acoustic instrument, you’ll enjoy:
• collective playing and improvisation
• hands-on work on timing, phrasing, and dynamics
• personal feedback and musical inspiration
• a relaxed and creative atmosphere throughout the week

Two locations – one spirit:

Playing the Blues – your musical highlight of the summer (or autumn)!

Join us in Croatia or Austria and discover how much soul and freedom live inside the blues.
