[2] *********************************************************************I
am trying to organise a course on early organ music to be held on
the Rhaneus organ (1701) in Ugale, Latvia. This could perhaps be held
in the last week of July 2008, or possibly the last week of August
2008.
If you are interested please write to me as soon as possible.
The instrument, recently restored by Janis Kalnins, a splendid example
of the Königsberg/Danzig school, has 2 manuals (CDE-c3) and a wide
pedal board (CDE-e1). It is suitable for the study of almost all 17th
century European organ literature.
Accommodation can be found at a hotel some 5 miles away (transport
will be organised) which is in very pleasant surroundings and equipped
with a swimming bath. www.usma.lv It could therefore be an attractive
proposition for those who might like to experience this instrument but
prefer a week's holiday to active participation.
The closest airports are at Ventspils (30 minutes) and Riga (2 hours).
Cheap flights can be booked with Air Baltic.
