The Jazzdepartment of The Prince Claus Conservatoire in Groningen is organizing a drumweek from March 31 - April 4. During this week the jazzdepartment will be all about drums. Every day at 10 a famous jazzdrummer is giving a workshop that can be attended by non-students as well. We invited Steve Altenberg, Joost van Schaik, Ari Hoenig, Frits Landesbergen, Ralph Peterson and Bill Goodwin. Joris Teepe and Jasper Soffers (double bass and piano) will form the rhythm section.
You are invited to attend the workshops and concerts during this drumweek. Playing during the workshops is for students only but it will also be very interesting to listen to the jazzdrummers.
On Thursday April 3rd these jazzdrummers will perform in The Oosterpoort at 20.30 hrs. Make your reservation at www.de-oosterpoort.nl
