Baton Rouge Strings Jam offers workshop for local young string players
(BATON ROUGE) – Beginning to advanced string players up to age 18 are invited to the Baton Rouge Summer String Jam, a week-long chamber music, technique workshop, and creative strings program for all levels of student string players starting Monday, July 20, 2009 through Sunday July 26, 2009. Held at the School of Music at LSU, BRstringsJAM’09 is a local and financially accessible festival, an effort to connect with and help build the next generation of Baton Rouge musicians, and continue to help make thrive the music community in Baton Rouge.
The Summer String Jam is for all string players interested in improving their musical skills over the summer, learning traditional and creative styles of playing such as jazz and improvisation, Latin, and popular music, and learning ensemble and string skills from experienced faculty.
“Faculty members are international, professional musicians and graduate students from LSU’s School of Music and Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra,” said Joanna Steinhauser, the program’s executive director. “Students will spend three hours per day studying closely with faculty members, learning chamber pieces and playing in small and large ensembles. They will build upon existing skills through the technique workshop, with opportunities for coachings and masterclasses, a Summer Jam Performance, traditional and creative string playing.”
Raul Gomez, one of the violin instructors for the program, added “This is a unique opportunity for young players of violin, viola and cello in the Baton Rouge area. What makes this program different is that besides their traditional lessons on instrument technique and repertoire, participants will also be able to explore other musical languages such as jazz and fiddling. We are lucky to have Brazilian cellist Marcelo Vieira as part of our team. He has spent many years experimenting with non-traditional ways of playing string instruments”.
The Baton Rouge Strings Jam program will have a final performance with faculty and participants on July 26, 2009 at 4pm at the LSU School of Music.
