THANK YOU from Atéa

Hello everyone!

Atéa quintet here again!


The time has flown so fast and we cannot believe it is time already to leave this amazing place.

We wanted to express how to truly wonderful, inspiring, amazing, fantastic, useful, friendly, awesome and fun this course has been! We enjoyed it very very much! 

Coaching, food, company, surroundings - all has been absolutely top class and we cannot imagine that it could possibly be any better.

At the beginning of the week we were quite unsure whether we could prepare these few concerts of completely new repertoire for us, especially Ligeti 10 pieces, but this has given us all the time and freedom to be able to make it possible. We are so happy we did it - both the preparation with the best possible advise from our wonderful tutors, and also such a warm and open audience!

The highlight of yesterday was an informal concert where we merged groups and strengthened our bonds of friendship further with wonderful chamber music together - especially the Martinu with strings and winds was a great finale!
After dinner we had an ad-hoc ceilidh followed by a jam session where we all learnt some reels, great fun and an eternal memory for us!

We will always have images of Coll linked to the repertoire that we have played and learnt here (which are at least 12 big pieces!) and we do really hope to be able to come back in the future!

Thank you, Tunnell Trust!  Thank you, Coll! 

Atéa xxx
