Amorous Fire, Liquid Silver: Happy anniversary Giovanni Coperario & Thomas Weelkes!

The Workshop Venue:

The workshop venue is the Benedictine Monastery in Pecos, NM. This pastoral site, right on the Pecos River, features modern amenities with comfortable rooms. All rooms are singles and have private baths.
Tuition:
$1,000 (single room) – All meals are included

Getting Here:
The Benedictine Monastery is on the north end of the town of Pecos, about a half-hour drive northeast of Santa Fe on I-25 and thence onto State Hwy. 50. We assume most people will be driving. If flying, the nearest airport is the cute, tiny one on the south side of Santa Fe (SAF), albeit with very limited service; otherwise it’s Albuquerque’s (ABQ), an hour’s extra drive. If you fly in to ABQ and don’t rent a car, it’s dicey: the one shuttle service to Santa Fe stopped operations in November. There is a train from downtown Albuquerque, the Rail Runner, but only a half dozen or so run every day, and it doesn’t stop at the airport. We’ll do our best to arrange to pick you up in Santa Fe or ABQ if you let us know your itinerary.
