Grappelli-Django Camp

On 22 August 2019, we kick off the 10th Grappelli-Django Camp in Holland, an exciting anniversary with a stellar teaching and performing line-up.

Gismo Graf, Sinti gypsy guitarist from Germany, is topping the bill – a Holland premiere! The busiest young gypsy jazz player in the world with an open musical approach, we are looking forward to hearing his views on the style.

Fiddle ace Mathias Lévy is coming in from Paris for the first time. Our other stars, including a mystery violin guest, will be added as they are confirmed.

Sign-up opens on 15 December.

Grappelli-Django Camp runs from 22-25 August, 2019.
