In the lute class


There used to be long queues to the concerts every evening


In the church, waiting for the concert of Emma, Jakob and Lars Ulrik


And here they are!


In the intermission: students, staff and teachers. Can you find Rachel and Enrico?


The "King" (the artistic director) of the festival, Robert King, in a good company


Soon the second part starts...


Flowers and applause. Lots of them!


We were practising also even after the concerts!


And then some beer and even some sporting...


The singing and lute class by Emma and Jakob


Funny guys from France, Ensemble Clément Janequin


Information for the students


We had to eat, too. Here are are some eating lutenists and one harpshichord player, who wanted the harpshichord sound like lute! A clever person!


Last meeting of the lute class, wise words by Jakob
