The Cape Ann Jazz Workshop brings together young jazz musicians each summer to engage in group improvisation workshops, music theory, jazz history and listening, as well as masterclasses by acclaimed guest artists. In addition, the end of each session culminates in a live public performance showcasing student learning which is open to family and friends to attend.
