“Music of the Balkans” Workshop with Gilles Kusmeruck & François Heim – Franceby Christine Johnstone |
Gilles Kusmeruck & François Heim will hold a “Music of the Balkans” workshop in Hamlet of Chalap, Senechas, France from July 23rd to 29th, 2023, organised by the Balagan Company. The workshop is for all levels except beginners. Gilles Kusmeruck will cover Bulgarian, Serbian, Romanian and Gypsy themes using the scores that will be available (musicians who play mainly by ear are welcome). We will discuss ornamentation, key to the style and "language" of this music as well as the main asymmetrical rhythms. We will also work on the accompaniment as well as the 2nd voices in order to constitute an ensemble music group. François Heim will cover diatonic and chromatic accordion simple themes, study asymmetrical rhythms and ornaments specific to these musics, learning and setting up the accompaniment of the pieces (work of the right hand chords). He will join Gilles' group for one hour a day on two common pieces that they will work during the week to share a moment of collective music with other instrumentalists.
