Composers’ Symposium (August 22-25)
An additional three-day session is available for aspiring and experienced composer-arrangers looking to hone their craft. This stand-alone composition workshop is a great lead-in to the Jazz Camp, providing valuable insights and new approaches to composing and arranging for those who are writing original tunes and arrangements. Sessions include individual mentorship and group coaching, plus dedicated solo studio time to work on new creations. This special, small group event includes the option to use the additional 2 or 3 days for solo practice time and impromptu jamming with other Campers.
It’s the highlight of my whole year! Time to focus on music I love with people who love it as much as I do. The thrill hasn’t worn off in 10 years.” Leslie Toope, vocalist
