We had another fantastic workshop in Stuttgart on 20 and 21 June 2026. 22 participants from all over Europe and even as far as the US and Canada as well were joined by three teachers, Riley Lee, Alexandra Kraus and Markus Guhe. We studied pieces of the KSK and Chikuho lineages and had additional sessions for robuki and a group piece. This year we also introduced dedicated session for beginning players who had just started to play.

On the night of Friday the 19th, there was a teachers’ concert in the church next door to a large, enthusiastic audience.

Thank you to all who participated in the workshop, attended the concert, and especially to Detlef Dörner who once again did an amazing job with the local organisation!
