Alto Sax and Drums Are Full

The workshop is filling up fast! Alto Sax and Drum slots are filled, so if you’re applying for those instruments, please don’t send payment, just an application. New applications will be placed on the Waiting List. We will notify you if there is a cancellation on a first-come-first-served basis.

Only one more spot for Trumpet: a few more for Piano and Bass. Sign up today!

Because of ongoing construction at Stanley Middle School this summer, the Workshop will be held at nearby Acalanes High School at 1200 Pleasant Hill Road, Lafayette. None of our usual activities will be affected: it’s still close to BART, and we’ll have the use of the beautiful 400-seat Acalanes High School Performing Arts Facility for performances and daily events.

If you have any questions, please contact LafSMW Director, Bob Athayde:  bathayde@comcast.net or 925-914-0797.

Final Concert Audio Files

2016 was another great year for the Workshop, thanks to the great campers, the amazing faculty, mentors, and work-study students, and the incredibly capable and helpful volunteers. We hope to see you all again this year in 2017.

Thanks to the great recording work of Mark Seymour at the Friday Concert, we have audio files of all 25 combo performances and the faculty performance as well.

Check them out here!

Live Concerts

Once again this year, we are proud to present LIVE JAZZ, featuring some of our gifted staff instructors, at the Big Room Theatre at Lamorinda Music on  Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 8:00 the week of camp. Performers will be announced soon.
