Open House - KoSA Music Academy 2008 Season
Saturday, September 6 from 1:30 pm to 5pm

Now into its sixth year, the KoSA Music Academy (and world music centre), founded and directed by Aldo Mazza of the internationally renown group “Repercussion”, opens its doors this fall for another exciting year of private instruction and ensemble classes.

Our open house will feature FREE drum clinics: a 20-minute djembe African drumming clinic and a special invited drummer who will hold a clinic for all to learn more about drum kit playing. All drums will be supplied so you only need to bring yourself! There will also be door prizes.

Come see KoSA, meet our instructors, see our professional facility and wide-range of amazing western and world music instruments.
