2013 sees the return of world renowned Scottish fiddle player Alasdair Fraser and incredibly his 27th annual fiddle camp at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.  Joining him at his only fiddle camp of this kind in Europe and for another year at the College is the highly respected American cellist Natalie Haas.

The emphasis of the course is on creativity and enjoyment of the music with plenty of opportunities for playing fiddle and cello in groups of all sizes and abilities, participation in daily workshops, nightly sessions and a huge finale cèilidh at the end of the week!  There will also be an opportunity to play for and take part in step dancing & Gaelic workshops through the week.

The course usually begins with registration lunchtime on Saturday afternoon.  We therefore recommend arriving the previous evening for the course opening concert which also gives you a chance to get settled for this intensive week’s instruction and socialising!

Tuition ends on Friday afternoon but is followed by the course cèilidh that usually ends sometime on Saturday morning!  We therefore recommend that students request accommodation for that Friday night in addition to the rest of the week.  We also recommend booking early to avoid disappointment as this course is always over subscribed!
Some comments from the past two courses:

•  “Amazing week, superb teachers and a brilliant atmosphere”
•  “Can’t wait for next year!”
• “Natalie Haas is inspirational!”
