When: April 13-20 and April 20-27, 2025
Workshop begins with dinner on Sunday evening and ends with breakfast the following Sunday. Where: Aix-en-Provence, France
The closest airport is Marseilles and it is very easy to get to Aix-en-Provence as there is a bus between the airport and the center of Aix that runs every 30 minutes in both directions. The journey takes 30 minutes and it is very pleasant. You can also fly in and out of Paris if you'd like to spend some time there before or after the workshop. You can take the high-speed TGV train between Paris and Aix, a very pleasant and amazingly fast 2.5 hours between the two cities. Cello Rentals will be available
Cost for renting a cello for one week is $150 per cello per week. |
