Django in June: 12th-17th

MichaelHorowitz

Welcome! Django in June is New England's
premier occasion to celebrate, study and just plain enjoy the musical
tradition unwittingly launched en France some 75 years ago by
Django Reinhardt,
a tradition now known by many as "Gypsy jazz." In 2007, the event will
be held between June 12th and 17th on the campus of Smith College in
beautiful Northampton, MA.

Django in June is really two events in one.
For the general public, we'll host concerts
on both Friday and Saturday nights at the lovely Helen Hills Hills
Chapel. These shows offer the opportunity to enjoy world-class Gypsy
jazz artists in a live, intimate setting — without the additional
expense and bother of a flight to Europe! If you already know which
concert(s) you would like to attend and you just need tickets, get them here.

For musicans,
(including players of guitar, violin, mandolin, accordion and bass), we
offer a variety of opportunities to learn and share. This year, for the
first time, musicians will have the option of attending Django Camp
— the first such music camp in the US devoted entirely to Gypsy jazz —
which will run from Tuesday evening through Sunday noon. For those who
would rather just drop in on the weekend for jamming, a la carte
clinics and performances as we've done in the past, that will still be
an option and we'd love to see you.

So please, join us in the way that suits you best for
some of the funnest, finest music on the planet.

Allons-y mes amis!
