The focus of this workshop will be…improvised! That is to say, it is open to players and listeners of all persuasions. Depending on who you, the participants are, the workshop will involve playing, discussing the life of an improvising musician, and the practicalities of the creative trumpet player in the year 2015. Musicians should bring their instruments. Ellwood Epps founded the Studio d’Improvisation de Montréal in 2009. This series of workshops has welcomed dozens of players of all ages and backgrounds, and many of its participants have become active members of Montréal’s improvised music community. Ellwood has also been a guest workshop leader across Canada.
