The Creative Strings Youth Workshop
is
an opportunity for string
players based in Central Ohio to experiment with and explore
improvisational-based music and performance.
During the week, students will
participate in a jazz string orchestra ensemble and master classes. They will explore jazz,
folk, rock, hip hop, and other styles with master technicians.
Each day, campers will have an
intensive rehearsal, observe a performance by other creative string
players, and engage in an interactive a creative clinic/master
class. On the last day of the Workshop, there will be a dress
rehearsal and public concert (location and time TBA).
This camp will improve string
technique and musical skills while encouraging creative expression.
It is an exciting experience that bridges modern and alternative
music with the classical heritage of the instrument.
