The Dominican Republic Jazz Festival is happy to invite once again the youth our community to take part of a musical clinic/ workshop that will be given by highly regarded artists, including Ramon Vasquez. It is a great opportunity, and our hope is to awaken the musical interest in as many children and youth as possible. However we cannot accommodate all
the students in the area so we have decided to have a contest so that 20 students from each school will be able to participate. We are asking all students interested in attending to either write a short essay or poem about music or submit a piece of art; drawing, painting, etc. again about music. We will then choose the winners.

These students will be attending the workshop which will take place on Cabarete beach at the site of the Festival between 10:00am and 12:00pm on Saturday November 8th. We will provide transportation, water and a small souvenir for each participant, not to mention a wonderful experience and opportunity!
