Middle School Intersession 2025

Legendary Cuban musicians Rodney Barreto and Axel Tosca will be leading Nueva musicians in an intense rehearsal format teaching Afro-Cuban jazz styles both contemporary and traditional. With Axel on keyboards and Rodney on drums you will learn to groove in new styles and have a great time working with two of the best around.
You’ll learn the Mambo, Cha Cha, Songo and more.

This will run as a Thursday Friday session culminating with a performance on the weekend and again on Monday/Tuesday with a concert that evening. YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR ONE OR BOTH SESSIONS!
