Friday evening at 7:00 pm we will meet the faculty in a casual and short concert where teachers will present an overview and demonstration of their style and workshop topics and approaches. Jamming will follow the con throughout the hotel, late into the night.
Four 75 minute classes will be held on Saturday during the day and formal and informal jam sessions will be held during and in between the classes. La Tourelle will be offering breakfast, lunch and dinner and hosting a Saturday evening Lobby reception & jam with a cash bar, following by the popular Saturday Night camp faculty concert (open to the public) and, again, jamming late into the night evening.
