This special summer solstice concert will feature Albanian songs of love, loss, work, immigration, and the seasons from Albania, Kosova, Macedonia, Montenegro, Northern Greece, and Calabria, Italy.

The Balkan Music & Dance Workshops offer a unique opportunity to join in a celebration of music, dance and traditions—an enjoyable learning experience in an informal and supportive atmosphere. In addition to instruction in vocal, instrumental and dance techniques, we offer folklore presentations, staff and student concerts, jam sessions and incredible evening parties with live music. We emphasize traditional and contemporary folk music and dance from the Balkans, but material also may be included from neighboring regions of Central Europe and the Near East.
