ASO Jam Sessions
Ever wanted to make music but didn't know where to start? ASO Jam Sessions are a free series of drop-in workshops where creativity takes the lead. No experience? No problem. Led by workshop facilitators Julian Ferraretto and Dave McEvoy, these sessions will bring together ASO musicians and community members of all skill levels to create music in the moment - shaped by their ideas, stories and spontaneity.
In each workshop, people will jam together and improvise original music with facilitators and ASO musicians along the way. Free, welcoming, and open to all, register today to explore, and see where the music takes you at the next workshop.
