The Early Music Youth Academy, devoted to the joys of Renaissance consort music, meets for autumn and winter/spring semesters, with new performance projects each term. SHAK also presents short-term introductory or intermediate music workshops for instrumental music students once or twice each year.
SHAK's Early Music Youth Academy
News from the Early Music Youth Academy:
Autumn 2019: SHAK seeks special guest vocal soloists! If you're a teen singer taking classical voice lessons and you might like to sing music from 17th-century Italy in Italian and Hebrew, please get in touch. There is no tuition fee for guest soloists.
In autumn 2019, instrumental participation is limited to continuing members due to the technical and stylistic demands of the repertoire.
Winter/spring 2020: For the first time in several years, EMYA will be accepting NEW members! Our exciting winter-spring 2020 project explores music from the Gaelic nations -- Scotland, Ireland, and more -- in sources from the 16th and 17th centuries. Watch this space for details and enrollment. Well-established students who study plucked or bowed strings or wind instruments in private lessons and practice daily at home are heartily welcome to join us! (Students should generally have been studying for 2-3 years or more.)
