 Mykonos 
     
2025

A one week workshop on the Greek island of Mykonos in its 11th year.  For the past 10 years we have been in a private villa surrounded on 3 sides by the Aegean Sea with its own pool. The week offers 4 hours of performance workshopping per day with a maximum of 10 singers, 4 cars at your disposaland magnificent outdoor space for coffee in the sun and dinner under the nearly overwhelming stars and Mykonian moon. All that and breakfast and lunch included in your stay. This passionate Mediterranean country is a magical place to make music. The week is not designed like a sleep-away camp with activities all day long, this is a grown up vacation to be enjoyed as you see fit in these glorious surroundings. Folks come back again and again because it's something very special....something with a touch of...well...magic. This is a special year with the workshop taking place the end of September in a different location for alumni only.
