FREE Music Education Workshop - Saturday 10/11/25 11am - 1pm
Meet the artists, participate in an open Q&A, even take part in the music with the FREE music education series hosted by Georges Bouhey at The Oxford Hotel. George has been an integral part of “Jazz At The Oxford” since its inception when this idea of a local jazz series actually came to fruition in his studio nearly 15+ years ago. Georges Bouhey has so generously contributed time and passion to the local community through the FREE Music Education Workshops, a large part of the Jazz at the Oxford Series. Georges has hosted and facilitated each workshop (nearly 50) with many of the world's top Jazz artists and is known throughout the region as a band leader, ace sideman (drums or keyboards), and as a compassionate music educator.
