Guitar Camp at Fiaf in NYC!
Three Workshops! 

Django a gogo offers a whole day guitar camp at Fiaf in NYC! This is a unique opportunity to experience a full immersion with some of the greatest European and American masters in the Django Reinhardt style (sometimes referred as “Gypsy Jazz”). The camp consists in three 90mn workshops, in small rotating groups. Each workshop will be taught by a team of two teachers featuring Stephane Wrembel, Raphael Fays, Sebastien Felix, Laurent Hestin, Russell Welch and David Gastine.

Everyone will have the chance to learn from, interact and jam with every teacher on the team.

The workshops are open to all levels, all ages. Groups will be organized according to the level of the students.

- Workshop 1: 10:30am-noon
- Workshop 2: 1:30pm-3pm
- Workshop 3: 3:30pm-5pm

Fiaf (French Institute Alliance Française) is located on 60th st between Park and Madison avenue.

Come learn and enjoy!

THE TOWN

The shows will be happening in the charming town of Maplewood, in the heart of the village. The town is a gem in NJ. It is easily accessible by highway and public transportation. It is a 25-minute drive from NYC, 10-minute drive from Newark Airport, and 30 minutes by train from Penn Station New York. Maplewood is full of restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, stores...all within a block of the venues.

The New York Times had recently published an article about Maplewood "If Brooklyn Were a Suburb". The town is bustling and very hip, the food is excellent, and the whole area (Essex County) is one of the most culturally active in the country.

THE VENUE: THE WOODLAND

Maplewood was our main choice for the music festival for its amenities, accessibility, and artistic vibe. We have been provided with two gorgeous, cozy and extremely functional rooms to host the event. Maplewood is a town of many artists, and the community truly cherishes this quality. The three groups will be taught at THE WOODLAND, as well as the master classes, and the concerts. The Woodland is a gorgeous building with a nice, old-time concert feel.

THE AFTER CONCERTS JAMS SESSIONS

The jam sessions will be held in one of Maplewood favorite bar/restaurant: THE CASSIDY. After each show all students and performers will go jam, have a drink at the Cassidy. The restaurant will keep bar and restaurant opened until closing for the duration of Django a Gogo®!
