World Harmonica Festival 2005 2nd - 6th Nov. 2005, Trossingen, Germeny Harmonica fans watch out! The F¨¦d¨¦ration Internationale de l¡¯Harmonica (FIH) once again has the pleasure of inviting you to one of the most important events in the harmonica lover's calendar. Every four years the World Harmonica Festival comes to Trossingen in the beautiful Black Forest region. Soon it will be returning for the fifth time. Alongside concerts and seminars, presented by some of the finest players performing today, the festival will also include competitions, sessions and a varied supporting program. Last but not least, the World Harmonica Festival provides the opportunity to celebrate our unique instrument in the company of countless friends both old and new. Three full length evening concerts in the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert Hall will showcase the entire range of contemporary harmonica music starting at 8.15 pm from Thursday to Saturday. As at previous festivals in Trossingen, there will be competitions in categories featuring the various different types of harmonica and the most popular musical styles. The adjudicators will primarily be drawn from the ranks of the guest artists, who will also be performing in the concerts. A wide ranging workshop program will cover all aspects of contemporary harmonica. Following the evening concerts, the action moves to the "Kesselhaus", the former power station on the historic Hohner factory site in the center of Trossingen. This is the first time that the legendary "Late Night Sessions", organized by Steve Baker and accompanied by the excellent B-Sharp Rhythm Section, have taken place in this location. The sessions offer all comers the opportunity to get up on stage with a top professional backing band and show what they can do in front of an appreciative and knowledgeable audience. They also offer the possibility of showcasing short concert appearances by artists who cannot be fitted into the evening concerts due to time constraints. The German Harmonica Museum houses the largest collection of harmonica models in the world and will be presenting a a special tour dedicated to the history of the instrument. The supporting program also offers a guided tour of the Hohner harmonica production facilities. In the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert Hall there will also be a selection of stands offering instruments, CDs, books and accessories such as amplifiers and microphones. Detailed information and registration forms can be found on the festival website: www.whf-2005.de All harmonica fans without internet access can obtain information and registration forms directly from the
