Participants will learn from and play alongside music masters in an informal, personal setting. The non-traditional atmosphere of the Creative Music Studio Workshop encourages participants to experiment; take risks; and push beyond limits, genres and categories.
The workshop runs from 3-6PM on Saturday, September 24th at White Feather Farm.
$160 registration fee includes admission to the subsequent 8PM performance by Jamaaladeen Tacuma with Billy Martin, Karl Berger & Ingrid Sertso, also at White Feather Farm.
