Celebrated around the globe each year on April 30, International Jazz Day highlights the power of jazz as a force for freedom and creativity, promotes intercultural dialogue through respect and understanding, and unites people from all corners of the globe. Established in partnership with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, the day is recognized on the official calendars of both UNESCO and the United Nations.
This week Peter Dugas and Gary Wittner, our fantastic Suzuki music teachers, hosted a workshop for our students on International Jazz Day where they performed and also discussed jazz music and what makes it so unique. They also shared with students the history of jazz and the art of improvisation. Merci Peter and Gary!
