Stop four on Camac Germany‘s 2019 tour: Tettnang, all the way to the South-West near the Swiss border. We’re delighted to be working with Simone Patricia Häusler once again! We had a superb weekend with Simone and Nikolaz Cadoret in 2015, and this year, we’ve secured the last free day in Evelyn Huber‘s diary.
Saturday, November 23 is the day: we’ll begin at 10AM in the Musikschule Tettnang, with an exhibition of the latest harps to exit the Camac ateliers. You can also have your Camac harp regulated FREE OF CHARGE by one of our senior technicians.
At 11AM, Evelyn will begin her workshop, on the theme of “Rhythms and World Music”. Few harpists are as well-qualified to explore this subject: from musette to Balkan swing, French chansons to Italian canzone, and a collaboration with the Egyptian Sufi band “Cairo Steps”…Evelyn Huber is one of the busiest and most eclectic harpists on today’s world stages! Her workshop is similarly open – everyone is welcome, from the age of 5 to 99.
German speakers can also read an extensive interview with Evelyn in Camac Germany’s latest newsletter.
In the afternoon from 4 – 5PM, workshop participants who also wish to perform in the closing ensemble concert will have a group rehearsal. And at 7PM, Evelyn Huber and the harp class of the Musikschule Tettnang will perform. There will be new rhythms, there will be world music, there will be improvisation – and there will be some surprises!
Workshop and concert reservations: please email Simone Patricia Häusler.

Our Berlin showroom is hosting an electric harp day on January 18th, 2020. Ralf Kleeman (the scribe behind the German version of our blue dictionary) will begin with a workshop on amplifying, effects and looping. This will run from 2PM to 6PM with breaks to take in everything you’ve heard; at 8PM, there will be a lounge concert with Arden. Arden is MarieMarie‘s new project: a development away from the synth pop of 2018, towards what she calls her “musical roots” – her voice, and her harp.

They’ll be aided and abetted by the Guildhall Jazz Singers, Freddie Benedict, Tom Early and Ed Babar. Have a go, be inspired and discover new horizons!
