JAMES FERNANDO WORKSHOP

and performance at the Camden Opera House

MCMA will host an educational workshop with jazz pianist James Fernando and his trio on Saturday, October 5 from 1:00 - 2:30 in the Blue Cafe space at the Camden Opera House.


The workshop will explore the art of combo playing and musical communication in a group – and is presented in partnership with the Camden Opera House and Jazz in June. James and his trio will perform at the Camden Opera House that same evening at 7:30pm. (Purchase performance tickets HERE).


The workshop is free to music students and music educators, and open to observers – but limited to 30 participants.  Interested participants must register to reserve a spot. A suggested $20 donation helps enable MCMA to offer similar programs in the future.
