With many thanks to Chris for letting us know about this day – we hope to see fellow ISSMUS students on the day!

Euan Stevenson at ISSMUS

Following the success of Joe Stilgoe’s classes last year, we are delighted to announce that our jazz workshops this year will be run by acclaimed Scottish pianist Euan Stevenson. Euan is much in demand as a performer (both a soloist and accompanist), and is also a prolific composer and arranger; he is also a director of the independent record label Up on the 1 Records, and teaches at Dollar Academy and Strathclyde University. We look forward to welcoming Euan in August, when he’ll be working with our singers and pianists in workshop sessions. You can find out more about Euan from his website.
