When? Ladies and Gentlemen, we are sorry to have to MOVE the WORKSHOP due to measures to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The date will be announced when it is confirmed, but we anticipate that the workshop will take place in the second week of August 2021!
Where? Mekinje Monastery, Kamnik
What? The Transylvanian violin came to us through Jean-Christoph Gairard, who stopped in Slovenia with Emilio Castiello on one of his many trips to the Roma village of Beica. The village lies near the more famous city of Cluj-Napoca and Jean went there regularly to learn from the master Marcel Ramba. The one-way trip from Marseille is over 2200 km and most of the time he drove it in his yellow van. Bojan Cvetrežnik and Barja Drnovšek also visited the masters twice in the heart of Transylvania for an intensive education. Marcel said he doesn’t remember exactly how many times Jean was there. “Maybe 30 times?” he thought. There are debates as to whether the styles of the regions can be learned even without travel. Opinions vary, but those who have learned to sound in some violin dialect usually say that you can only study in the second phase without traveling. At Godalkanje, we tried to bring the knowledge of the regions as close as possible. This year’s Transylvanian music workshops will take place at the academic level. All applications were collected without promotion, only with personal invitations. Participants from Belgium, Germany, Italy, Austria, France and Slovenia will learn most of the visions on their own before arrival. Thus, Slovenia is becoming a point where the door is set through which violinists of Central and Northern Europe can enter the world of Balkan violin styles, and violinists of the Balkans can enter the world of the richness of violin styles of Central and Northern Europe.
kdaj? Spoštovani, žal nam je, da moramo DELAVNICO zaradi ukrepov za omejitev širjenja virusa COVID-19 PRESTAVITI. Datum objavimo, ko bo le-ta potrjen, predvidevamo pa, da bo delavnica izvedena v drugem tednu avgusta 2021!
kje? Samostan Mekinje, Kamnik
kaj? Transilvanska violina je k nam prišla prav preko Jeana-Christopha Gairarda, ki se je z Emiliom Castiellom v Sloveniji ustavil na enem izmed svojih mnogih potovanj v romsko vas Beica. Vasica leži v bližini bolj znanega mesta Cluj-Napoca in Jean je tja redno zahajal, da bi se učil od mojstra Marcela Rambe. Pot v eno smer iz Marseilla znaša preko 2200 km in največkrat jo je prevozil kar s svojim rumenim kombijem. Tudi Bojan Cvetrežnik in Barja Drnovšek sta mojstra dvakrat obiskala v osrčju Transilvanije na intenzivnem izobraževanju. Marcel je rekel, da se ne spomni točno, kolikokrat je bil Jean tam. “Morda 30 krat?” je razmišljal.
Pojavljajo se debate, ali se je stilov regij možno naučiti tudi brez potovanj. Mnenja so različna, a tisti, ki so se naučili zveneti v nekem violinskem dialektu običajno rečejo, da lahko brez potovanj študiraš komaj v drugi fazi. Na Godalkanju smo znanje regij skušali približati kolikor se da. Letošnje delavnice transilvanske glasbe se bodo odvijale na akademskem nivoju. Vse prijave smo zbrali brez promocije, le z osebnimi vabili. Udeleženci iz Belgije, Nemčije, Italije, Avstrije, Francije in Slovenije se bodo večino viž naučili sami pred prihodom.
Tako Slovenija postaja točka, kjer so postavljena vrata, skozi katera lahko violinisti srednje in severne Evrope vstopijo v svet balkanskih violinskih stilov, violinisti Balkana pa v svet bogastva violinskih stilov srednje in severne Evrope.
Where? CSK France Prešeren, Karunova 14, Ljubljana
What? We created the concert cycle of urban folk music with strings so that the performances of great violin masters, guest mentors of Godalkanje, can be experienced live in Ljubljana. Slovenia is known in European professional circles for its master classes in various violin styles. We don’t just host mentors; also learning eager professional musicians are brought from afar to be able to attend education according to our standards.
Concert evenings are events that go beyond just listening to a concert, as the official part is usually followed by a jam session, during which it is not difficult to swim into feelings of immortality.
Hard times (pandemic restrictions) did not take away our courage for concert performances, so we are starting with a new form of interconnecting circles of friends, experts and lovers of live acoustic music.
from April 27 to May 1, 2021. The whole week of Godalkanje, Fiddle Gang Jams and concerts of international bands in CSK: we are already looking forward to!
(The exact schedule will be known after the spring release of restrictions. False hope dies last!)
Where? Festivalna dvorana, Vilharjeva 11, Ljubljana
What? This year’s big concert of Godalkanje corresponds to the memory of those who are no longer with us. But the program will be even more earthly. It will be woven by the lands of the famous Count Dracula – Transylvania.
The artistic director of the concert will be Jean-Christophe Gairard, already known to the Slovenian audience, who will upgrade his previous productions with Godalkanje and Symbolic Orchestra. Jean-Christophe spent a large part of his life in Transylvania, where he studied traditional and gypsy music. He is a violinist, composer and a sought-after mentor of Transylvanian and Romanian music, leading workshops throughout Europe. In 2014, he was a soloist in the international project “European Symbolic Orchestra”, with which he also recorded the album “Terrafolk & European Symbolic Orchestra – XXLive”. In 2012 and 2016, he led Romanian music workshops as part of Godalkanje and recorded quite a few successful online videos with it.
The orchestra will consist of musicians from six countries. Unfortunately, we will not be dancing this year, but we will be able to practice patience – itching in the heels can be a huge discomfort.
Visitors will be able to enjoy melodies from around Transylvania, including Moldova, Romania and Banat. The event will also be the announcement of a cycle of five “Urban Folk” concerts organized by Godalkanje at the Center of Slavic Cultures (CSK) France Prešeren.

For whom? For all sting players and players of the rhythm section (bass, guitar, ukulele, accordion …), who master the repertoire for the 3rd class of lower music school.
What? At Godalkanje group workshops, we teach content that is not yet widely available in our country. We draw mainly from the treasury of violin tunes of different nations. We learn by listening, following chords, performing different techniques (‘chops’, jig, swing, different ornamentation…). We refresh the learned repertoire at street performances and in concert halls.
