More about the 2008 Performances

You can choose to play with string ensembles alone (quartets, duos, trios, etc.), or add a rhythm section to your string group (drums, bass, piano, guitar, etc.), or you can jump into ready-made bands from Columbus. You can play a few tunes in a bluegrass group, work with a singer songwriter, and there are many other possibilities.

We will customize the curriculum to fit your goals as much as possible, and it's up to you to let us know what you're interested in, what music you want to play and learn, who you're most interested in collaborating with, and HOW you prefer to learn (classroom, by ear, by rote, playing, listening, etc...)

The Workshop will present you with many choices every day; choices of clinics, ensembles, repertoire, venues, jams, and musicians to play with. There's always something to do, but it's up to you to take the initiative to get involved!
