The

new
and
seasoned
zither
players
to
come
together,
share
their
passion,
learn
new
zither

make
new
friends,
and
enjoy
the
camaraderie
of
sharing
zither
music
as
part
of
an
international zither community.
New
sheet
music
will
be
provided
for
this
event.
This
includes
music
from
various
periods,
such
as
-
Folk,
Romantic,
Classical,
etc.
Two
months
prior
to
the
Gathering,
Tomy
will
provide
a
professional
practice
recording from his sound studio.
For
many
years
we
have
been
working
together
to
create
seminars
around
the
world
to
encourage
the
growth
of
the
zither
and
to
bring
together
zither
enthusiasts
to
learn
and
create
community
through
sharing
our
love
of
the
zither.
Now
we
want
to
invite
you
to
come
together
with
a
larger
zither
community,
in
the
country
where
zither
music
has
its
origin.
We
are
putting
a
lot
of
love
and
care
in
drawing
together
people
from
all
over
the
world
to
share
their
passion
for
the
zither.
We
are
eagerly
anticipating
participants
from
Austria,
Japan,
Germany,
Switzerland, USA, Canada, etc.
We
are
still
in
the
process
of
preparing
more
information
for
you,
but
we
wanted
to
send
you
this
preliminary
email
to
let
you
know
the
dates
so
that
you
can
put
it
on
your
calendar.
Please
let
us
know
if
you
are
considering
coming,
that
way
we
make
sure
to
send
you
updated
information
as
it
becomes
available.
More
detailed
information
will
be
given
at
a
later
date.
We
are
thrilled
to
be
able
to
have
the
event
in
Germany
this
year
and
simply
could
not
wait
to
let
you
