28/6/2023 0 Comments Jazz Camp Almost Full!JazzWorks is happy to say that our 2023 edition of Jazz Camp is almost sold out. As of today, there is limited space in shared accomodations in the Main Lodge. The Lake House is fully booked, as are the singles in the Main Lodge.
Better hurry and register to avoid disappointment! As you probably know by now, the Jazzworks Jam's regular home at Festival Japan has been under renovation all winter. Samantha has been kind enough to give us a room at Kato Japan, her Aylmer location. We just found out that venue is also not available this June, so we're going to postpone things until September, when hopefully we'll be back at Festival Japan.
Keep your fingers crossed and we'll see you at Festival Japan September 21! |
