Django in June

For Musicians

If our Friday and Saturday night performances are the public face of Django in June, our participatory activities for musicians are its heart and soul. Simply put, this music is just too much fun to leave to the experts. As it happens, the “experts” seem to agree with us on this point because an incredible collection of them from both coasts of the US and both sides of the Atlantic has agreed to be here again this year to help you move forward in your playing, whatever your level. You'll find them all on the page devoted to Artists & Staff.

Participating musicians who would like to be here will have two distinct options to choose from. There's a brief introduction of each in the table below. Please take a closer look at these options, pick one, and make arrangements to join us as early as possible!

 

Option 1: Django Camp! Tuesday, June 10th through Sunday the 15th
In 2007 we offered the first “music camp” in the US dedicated to the Gypsy jazz tradition and it was an increduble experience for all of us. For musicians who would really like to dig in — whether to build a strong foundation in the style or add another floor above the one you’ve got — Django Camp offers an opportunity for immersion, guidance and inspiration like none other. One fee will cover all study, jamming and performances along with optional on-site housing and food for out-of-towners.

Option 2: Weekend Drop-In
For those who would prefer to drop in for a day or weekend of jamming, clinics and performances as we've done in the past, that will still be an option and we’ll be happy to see you. Most of our Django Camp staff will offer at least one clinic over the course of the weekend covering a wide range of fundamentals and special topics related to the style. On-campus housing and food are also available for weekenders.
