The list of lessons available and their teachers at the 9th Summer School is now complete and closed. Now we’re only fine-tuning the schedules and very soon the complete syllabus of the Summer School and the application form will appear on this website.

This year we are strengthening the music lessons, especially by melodic instruments. These are significant novelties so we are not sure whether the interest of participants will be sufficient so that we won’t have to cancel the lessons. Obstacles can include not only lack of interest but also availability of necessary musical instruments (button accordion, uilleann pipes, banjo). Therefore we are postponing the application deadline for 15 June. We reserve the right to cancel those lessons which would be uneconomical to realize due to insufficient number of applicants by this date. Those who applied would be informed about this and their advance payments reimbursed in full. However, we’d rather wish this not to happen and so we would appreciate if you can spread the information about the Summer School among your friends.
