Music Enrichment in partnership with the Edmonton String Players Association, is pleased to announce a unique learning opportunity for advanced strings students.

Cam Neufeld,a well-known local musical adventurer, will be leading a group of 15 students in a series of workshops this April. “The Swing Orchestra project introduces string players to jazz and improvisation. The pieces are drawn from the swing era and are multi-level, best for intermediate/advanced players and could include all strings (violin, viola, cello or bass). In the context of jazz, I would be working with elements of swing feel, harmony, and various approaches to improvisation.” A concert of these pieces would be performed at the end of the session.” Cam Neufeld
