This year will be the first year that we will be using our new name - Cosmopolitan Tuba Euphonium Workshop. For the first three years we were the Northeast Tuba Euphonium Workshop, and although we got interest from many areas of the country it sounded too limiting - so I made the decision to change it. The name change has certainly been a good move in many ways, one being that it does not need to be held in the Northeastern United States any more. The workshop could be moved to anywhere in the world!
The workshop will be held at Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts. It is an absolutely gorgeous setting for making music and learning. The college is right across the road from the Atlantic Ocean!! Check out the photos on the camp website http://www.c-tew.com
This year will also be a bit different because Endicott's new Visual and Performing Arts Center has opened. What a fantastic facility! We are truly excited about using this new building!
At this time we still have room for one more tuba player and some more euphonium players. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please email the camp through our website ASAP and we'll get things rolling. http://www.c-tew.com
