Then bring your musical instrument to participate in a Creative Process Session Workshop guided by the alumni of the Creative Music Workshop from Halifax. from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. This opportunity is open to adults and youth 15+.
Since it was founded in 1996 the Creative Music Workshop has been a central component of the Halifax Jazz Festival. Under the long-time direction of the world-renowned drummer Jerry Granelli it became an instrumental educational force, and fostered a strong artistic community not just in Halifax, but across the globe. CMW alumni have gone on to become professional artists, educators and creative individuals worldwide. Since Jerry’s death in July of 2021 the program continues under the direction of his son J. Anthony Granelli, and a core group of long-time CMW collaborators and students.
“We’re teaching students to discover how they learn… that’s all you can give a student”
– Jerry Granelli
