On Thursday, December 3 at 7PM, Musicopia is hosting a live, online, free educational workshop that will explore cross-over genre music. This workshop is a pre-event leading up to Musicopia’s and Dancing Classrooms Philly’s December 6 High Note High Step Event at which Black Violin will be speaking live.  Music genres represent traditions, and the expansion of cross-genre music and musicians presents opportunities for the expression of new traditions. The musicians that comprise Black Violin epitomize this new era. The workshop can be accessed via Zoom Webinar (https://zoom.us/j/93040197501) OR (if Webinar attendee limit has been reached) via Livestream on the Musicopia Facebook page (www.facebook.com/musicopia).
