Course day for drone music, balfolk and ensemble

Saturday the 11th of October 2025 | Registration has started

Do you feel like diving deep into the music? Always wanted to learn to play the hurdy-gurdy or bagpipes? Or are you a more advanced player and would you like to spend a day studying techniques or playing together? This is possible during our annual Course day in Zeist.
No instrument? No problem! For participants in the beginners groups, we have a number of instruments they can use.

Special offer for beginners: beginners-morning 27th of September*

To get more out of the beginner groups, we offer participants an extra preparation morning for free: During this morning, participants will receive their rental instrument. Furthermore, participants will receive an explanation of the instrument, initial instructions and homework with which they can work at home prior to the weekend course. This morning is from 10:30 to 12:30 and takes place at the same location as the workshop day.

* With the exception of the extra beginner groups for hurdy-gurdy by Lies Sommer & Gertjan Jorissen and the beginner group for accordion by Wouter Kuyper. The extra instruments that we borrow from others for these workshop groups will not be delivered until Saturday 11 October. Unfortunately, it is logistically impossible to get the instruments to the workshop location any earlier.
