Middlebury College
February 23, Saturday


Coasts come together, as San Francisco's powerhouse, the House Jacks, and the Cape's boys of summer, the Hyannis Sound, descend on Middlebury College campus. They will be joined by Philip Hamilton, contemporary vocalist on the international Jazz and World Music stages and Middlebury alum, to bring you high energy instruction and knowledge, ending in a concert that will leave you breathless.

This series of hour-long workshops covers musical and business topics, from arranging, to copyright, to managing. A detailed schedule of the workshops will be posted by January 1st. A cappella groups and individual vocal performers are welcome. (For groups looking for professional and peer feedback, there will be a masterclass in the afternoon; contact Joe Antonioli at jantonio@middlebury.edu to sign up.)
