The Grappelli Workshop
On tour, Tim Kliphuis’ workshops are hosted wherever possible in addition to concerts. Tim works on the three aspects of jazz violin playing that made Stéphane Grappelli famous: Melody, Tone and Timing. The repertoire comprises standard Hot Club and Swing tunes such as Minor Swing, Summertime, Sweet Georgia Brown and Nuages.
Improvising violinists with a number of years’ experience in classical music, folk or jazz are invited to sign up. Check the Tour Dates to see where the next Grappelli Workshop will be held, and how to enlist.
