Registration now open for 2013 CSW!
The Creative Strings Workshop (Youth Program) provides an affordable opportunity for string players ages 10-16 based near Columbus, Ohio to study improvisational music such as blues, rock, world music, and jazz on violin, cello, viola, or bass with master artists from around the world.
