ETHNO Germany Reinventing traditional music and dance | Ethno is a camp for young folk enthusiasts by Jeunesses Musicales

Ethno Germany is a folk and traditional music camp for young musicians from all over the world. During 10 days, around 40 enthusiastic participants primarily aged between 16 and 26 will gather at the beautiful Castle Lichtenberg near the town of Kusel to play, teach and learn traditional music from all over the world. We will get to know each other, exchange ideas and share experiences. But most o

f all, we will explore diverse cultural backgrounds and reinvent traditional music. Ethno Germany is about the people you will meet, the music you will play and the joy you will have. Whether you have been trained in classical music, your repertoire consists mainly of jazz compositions or you know the global folk music scene inside out; whichever instrument you play or which register you sing in; whether you consider yourself a professional musician or a hobby instrumentalist, Ethno Germany’s unique approach will benefit all participants equally through a lively mixture of jam sessions, workshops and performances.

Our Story

ETHNO Germany is a folk and traditional music summer camp for young musicians from all over the world. Since 2013, always in August around 40 enthusiastic participants gather at the beautiful Castle Lichtenberg near the town of Kusel to play, teach and learn music from each other. The core of the camp is set upon exploring diverse cultural backgrounds and reinventing traditional music.

ETHNO Germany is about the people you will meet, the music you will play and the joy you will have. Whether you have been trained in classical music, your repertoire consists mainly of jazz compositions or you know the global folk music scene inside out; whichever instrument you play or which register you sing in; whether you consider yourself a professional musician or a hobby instrumentalist, ETHNO Germany’s unique approach will benefit all participants equally through a lively mixture of jam sessions, workshops and performances.

Music is connected to dance, particularly traditional folk music. By interlinking these art forms, there is a reinforcement of their message as they complement each other. We want the concerts presented by the ETHNO Germany Orchestra to be complemented with dance moments, performed by an international group of dancers who will also take part in the ETHNO Germany music camp.
