Be part of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival
In just seven
days, the Mother City (Cape Town) will play host to the largest music event in
sub-Saharan Africa. Dubbed as “Africa’s Grandest Gathering”, the Cape Town
International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) has seen many artists perform over two
nights across five stages. Now in its 16th year, I’m sure they’ll go
even bigger with their star-studded line up.
But before you
we can get all excited about that; did you know that there are FREE workshops
that will be taking place before the festival kicks off? The CTIJF department
of Training and Development is offering free workshops that are an interactive encounter presented by some
of the top jazz and urban musicians in the world.
First up is the
Music Technology workshop, introducing attendees to dynamic learning
experiences in music education. These workshops will teach those attending how
to effectively use common devices like Smart Phones, Tablets and PC's to
control their music instruments and equipment for on-stage and recording
purposes. Check the image below for more info.
The CTIJF
"Music Business" workshops would benefit anyone interested in working
within the music industry but in the fields of production, event management,
marketing, public relations and advertising. These workshops basically focus
on the business of music.
Last but not
least, the CTIJF “Master Classes” are aimed at budding musicians and artists. Local
and international artists who will share their experiences are:
- Axel Larrieux (USA)
- Wallace Roney (USA)
- Purbayan Chatterjee (UK)
- Talvin Singh (INDIA)
- Gerald Clayton (USA)
- Prophets of da City (SA)
So if
you’re interested in attending any of these, book your seat by sending your
RSVP to csi@espafrika.com to avoid
disappointment. Seats are limited!
