Each day will start at 9.30am with an open workshop given by each of the tutors in turn, except on day one which will be a welcome meeting. 11.00am-1.00pm will be the full ensemble of students and tutors led by Lewis. The afternoon will include daily small group sessions (in preparation for informal student concerts) and sectional rehearsals, each led by one of the tutors. The week will also include a jazz tutors’ concert and student jam sessions, culminating in a performance by the full ensemble on Friday evening.
