LOCATIONS SUMMER ACADEMY 2011
The International Holland Music Sessions (founded in 1988) has concentrated most of the venues for the lessons, master classes and concerts right in the centre of the beautiful historic village of Bergen NH, situated only a short distance from the North Sea beaches.
Lessons and master classes will be given at the Berger Scholengemeenschap, a comfortable and modern High School on the edge of the woods of Bergen NH. This will also be the location were lunches will be provided for all participants.
Dinner will be provided in the Parkhotel in Bergen NH.
Concerts will take place at the Ruïnekerk, while public master classes will be given at the Remonstrantse Kerk, Alkmaar. (Museum Kranenburgh is not available due to renovation.)
As the organisation provides all participants with bed and breakfast at the host family without extra charge, the Summer Academy 2011 offers therefore a complete package of lessons, master classes, housing and meals included in the total fee.
Host families are friends of THIMS who voluntarily offer their hospitality to the participants. Lunch and dinner is provided from Monday till Saturday and on Sunday it can be shared with the host family.
