Our 70th-anniversary celebrations begin with everything you love!
Orchestra, chamber music recorder, percussion, guitar, choir, dance, yoga, an intensive saxophone program and more… this week, we have it all.
WHAT’S NEW + PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
+ Help us celebrate CAMMAC’s 70th anniversary by contributing to Week 1’s artistic programming!
All CAMMAC members will be invited to vote on their favourite work from among a list celebrating CAMMAC’s 70 years. Details to come.
+ Intensive saxophone program: level-up your technical and stylistic understanding of the saxophone, develop ensemble skills, refine your existing repertoire and learn new works during this intensive saxophone program with Louis-Philippe Bonin. A flexible schedule will allow you to focus exclusively on the saxophone throughout the week, or to sample additional activities according to your needs.
Is this program for you? The program is adaptable for all levels, but it is ideal for musicians with at least 3 years of active experience. To find out more: CLICK HERE
+ Of special interest for cellists: classes, cello ensemble and chamber music with Catherine Mathieu, founder of Pratico-Cello, a platform and community for cellists of all levels. Catherine is also the creator of the PraticoCELLOTHÈQUE, a free directory of over 500 resources for amateur cellists.
