Office Hours

Part of Locally Made's One Room.
In Office Hours, artists, designers, experts, and brainiacs take the doors off of their offices and studios. Stop by for conversation or advice.
The question of practice is a significant and ongoing part of any musician's life. A musician's practice, however, doesn't
take place solely on the instrument. Sebastian will use Office Hours to publicly practice his concept of musicianship, both with a violin, and also by creating a three dimensional concept map of all the ideas that have informed his development of Community MusicWorks. -Sebastian Ruth
