ESS SUMMER SCHOOL FINLAND 2024
The ESS is very excited to collaborate with the Finnish Shakuhachi Association to present to you a ESS Summer School in Finland in 2024 and to announce that the registration for Finland 2024 is now open!

Thanks to the local organisers this year’s ESS Summer School will take place at the beautiful situated Friendship Inn in Kruusila (kind of half-way between Turku and Helsinki), where we will be surrounded by tranquil lakes and forests. The dates are from 29. July to 1. August 2024.

Accommodation and meals are available at the Friendship Inn venue too. Please make sure to register soon to catch the Early Bird discount (if you an ESS member) and to secure your spot.

Like every Summer School, we will offer a range of workshops, talks and lessons from established teachers and shakuhachi practioneers. This year we have for the first time a major Ueda-ryū player as guest and another special ingredient in this years’ event will be a hitoyogirir making workshop.

Our guests - From Japan we welcome Tani Yasunori, Iemoto Daihyō (i.e. representative of the iemoto) Dai-Shihan of Ueda-ryū, who will present Ueda-ryū honkyoku and sankyoku, from Autralia Riley Lee will be teaching Chtkuho-ryū honkyoku and contemporary pieces, Gunnar Jinmei Linder from Chikumeisha will teach sōkyoku and honkyoku, Hélène Seiyu Codjo will present Hijiri-Kai pieces and own compositions, Kiku Day will present Zensabo and Myoan honkyoku, Emmanuelle Rouaud will teach KSK honkyoku, shinkyoku and moving image improvisation session with Thorsten Knaub who will also present jiari-shakuhachi making and a shakuhachi clinic.

Our special guests and co-organisers from the Finnish Shakuhachi Association, Aaro Havista will teach Ueda-ryū basics and lead the hitoyogiri-making workshop, Otto Eskelinen introduces us to Finnish folk music played on shakuhachi and Sakari Heikka will present a workshop on how to play and improvise with scales and modes on shakuhachi. Last but not least Sangen Salo will give us a taste of zazen and his take on shakuhachi & zen.

And we are delighted to welcome Naoko Kikuchi for koto and shamisen.

This is not all. Please see our draft schedule on the website for current timetable and other sessions and talks happening. Furthermore you will find all the different registration options (accommodation/meals packages or summer school participation only) there and also can complete our new online registration there.
