Bild-Werk Frauenau, Germany

This September 20-27, Candy will be teaching at Bild-Werk, Frauenau, a unique and special Arts Centre in the hills of Bavaria, Southern Germany.

Frauenau is a little hillside town, that grew up around the hand manufacture of glass. The high street displays glass treasures, including an exceptional Glass Museum, and Bild-Werk Arts Centre is housed in some of the beautiful vernacular buildings — enormous wooden buildings with expansive tiled roofs, that were formerly used for glass blowing. While painters, glass makers, puppeteers and sculptors busily work at their projects, we singers do our thing in the aural space around them.  It is a truly unique atmosphere.

Candy has been teaching at Bild-Werk for 22 years now, and many singers return for another dose of what has been called the ‘Candy Singers’. We sing songs in harmony from many lands, experiment, improvise, play, as well as work on the quality of our singing. Over the week, we’ll learn a body of songs that in the afternoons we can take with us and sing out in the magnificent landscape around. Walk, sing, stop at beautiful old churches, both in Bavaria and in Czech Republic not so far away. The quality and atmosphere of Bild-Werk, including the other artists, greatly enhance our week. A magical blend of art fusion develops over the days. People never forget their Bild-Werk experience.
