Music Camp with Martin van de Ven
Monday July 26 - Friday July 30

Renowned clarinetist, composer and arranger Martin van de Ven returns to Naivelt to build on last year's successful Music Camp! We will work in small ensembles and a large group, learning Klezmer music and folk music related to it. In the mornings, there will be workshops and rehearsals; in the afternoons, there will be a variety of music workshops, talks and jam sessions. The Camp will culminate in a concert on Sat. July 31st. All ages and abilities of musicians are welcome. Participants must supply their own instruments.

Martin has a background in classical, jazz, and new music, and is best known for his work with The Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band and Beyond the Pale. Martin will be joined by Lucas Meilach-Boston, allowing for smaller working groups to form. Lucas is pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree in jazz performance at U of T and plays flute, saxophone and guitar in several bands.
