The National Youth Jazz Collective and South Asian Youth Music Orchestra are delighted to be leading a new collaborative project offering unique workshops for local instrumentalists of all abilities aged 14-18 years old.

Workshops will include rehearsals, master classes and developing an understanding of both jazz and classical Indian music repertoire. Participants will work both in large groups and small ensembles to develop and compose new music. The project will culminate with an amazing opportunity for participants to perform at hcmf// on Saturday 26 November 2011.

Participants are asked to commit to all days of the workshops including the performance date at hcmf//.
