The number of people applying for the ETHNO camp this year has been considerably higher than during previous years and due to this, all the places were already filled by the beginning of April which is two moths earlier than planned. However, August Pulst School will continue to register people who are interested in participating in case there will be vacancies.
The project manager Margit Kuhi said that on the one hand, she is very glad that this happened because growing interest among participants proves that this kind of event is needed in Estonia and that the previous camps have been successful. "On the other hand, I feel sad because I know that many talented youngsters would like to join us but cannot. Closing the door in front of them is not pleasant."
Similarly to last year, the camp will be held in Kõpu mansion which is situated near Viljandi. As usual, the camp is meant for 16-30-year-old youngsters who are interested in music and who wish to improve their skills and to enjoy themselves while doing it. The camp ends with a concert on the first day of the Viljandi Folk Music Festival.
