After the Friday evening sight reading session, everyone is invited to the Communitea Café for a closed party featuring our own jazz jam. Our rhythm section will lay down the beat and all are welcome to join in or simply listen and socialize with friends.

On Saturday at 5pm, the workshop will close with an informal concert offered to the community. If you can’t attend the full workshop, drop in to the free concert to join in the fun and hear some great music!
