A quick update to let you know that we are still accepting applications for the second of our two Explorations middle school weeks. Our first session sold out, so this second week (March 16-21) is your last chance in 2008 to connect your middle school students with this program. For more information, visit our Explorations page, or contact Martha Worthley, at 360.385.3102 x120.
Need to make a good demo recording? For his 2007 jazz and chamber music workshop sessions on the subject, David Christensen developed a Powerpoint presentation detailing the basic audio production concepts necessary to produce good demos. If you need to make a demo for Centrum workshops, or for any other reason, this presentation (which consists of the Powerpoint file and a sample WAV file) is highly informative.
Centrum is pleased to announce that Port Townsend’s independent music store, Crossroads Music, is providing rental instruments for use at selected Centrum music workshops. Rentals are perfect for those who are traveling by plane and don’t wish to risk damaging their own instruments, or for those who just want to try something new.
Rentals are handled entirely through Crossroads Music. Review their rental information sheet (300kb PDF) , and then contact them for complete information. Our friends at Crossroads can work miracles, but in order to guarantee an instrument, reservations should be made at least 3 weeks in advance of your workshop. You can reach them via telephone at 360-385-1471.
Centrum is working closely with its Access Advisory Committee, Fort Worden State Park, and the Washington State Arts Commission to ensure that programs and facilities are increasingly welcoming to people with disabilities. Accessible seating and listening devices are available at all our performances and in most classrooms. There are accessible dorms and other overnight accommodations available. If you have inquiries or require assistance, please contact Susan Cook.
