The afternoon workshops engage with topics such as presence, voice, movement, resonance and expression, that are not music related. And there will be an exchange about “women in jazz”, experiences of female empowerment in a male dominated music business, female leadership, networking, and collectivity. The workshops will be led by anna stiede and Jean Klinghammer. WORKSHOP REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!
