Who can take part?
In 2027 we face the difficulty, that there are more people interested in joining than there is space on stage. 80 people ist the maximum. Also, we have to make sure that the instrument sections are well balanced.

(Nearly) all instruments on all levels are welcome! You need to be 16 or older. You should be secure enough on your instrument to play easy melodies at sight. If you are unsure, please contact us: info@klezwecan.de.

Where does it take place?
The workshop takes place in Erfurt. You will receive further information after registration.

What should I bring along?
Your instrument, a music stand, joy in playing music, a general openness and sense of community.

What else is there to know?
Please read our FAQ.

Due to increasing costs, we unfortunately need to raise more money to cover the expenses for our beloved orchestra. Our chair and orchestra directors calculated all necessary costs so that no individual or the association itself will be endangered financially.

This means, that we need to raise our participation fee, and both workshops need to be paid for in future (until now, this only concerned the introduction workshop). An average price of 320 euros p.p. will be necessary. At the same time, we will try to find a solution for individual financial difficulties and take into consideration that participants who live ouside Thuringia face higher expenses.

More information on that will follow in the participation form.

Please note that the final workshops include a bank holiday, so you are advised to book your accomodation early enough.

Have you read our” FAQ and the terms and conditions of participation (see below)?

Do you share our philosophy?

Please note:

Full participation in BOTH rehearsal weekends is essential if you want to take part in the concert. Unfortunately, it is not possible to sign up for the workshops only.

In 2027, we’ll be back at Zughafen Erfurt, where we’ll have considerably less space than at Theater Erfurt. Once again, we’re facing the challenge of having more interested musicians than available places in some instrument sections. Unfortunately, the rehearsal spaces and the size of the stage simply don’t allow us to accommodate a larger group. This also means we need to keep a good balance between the different instruments.

So make sure to register early, starting November 1, to secure your spot!

We’re incredibly grateful for the overwhelming interest in our project. It seems the perfect venue for us still needs to be built…

We don’t want financial difficulties to prevent anyone from joining us. If you’re unable to afford the participation fee, please don’t hesitate to contact johannes@klezwecan.de. We’ll do our best to find a solution together.
