Description

Jazz Guitar Workshop

With Sandro Zerafa

Date: Friday, 11 September 2026

Time: 17:00 to 18 :30

Venue: Malta Society of Arts

Focus: Jazz guitar

Led by Maltese guitarist Sandro Zerafa, this workshop offers participants an opportunity to explore the language, technique, and musical thinking behind jazz guitar. Drawing on his experience as a performer, composer, and educator, Zerafa will guide participants through key elements of jazz playing, including phrasing, harmony, improvisation, accompaniment, rhythm, and interpretation.

The session will provide a practical introduction to how guitarists can approach jazz standards, original compositions, and ensemble contexts. Participants will be encouraged to think beyond technical execution and consider musical communication, listening, tone, and stylistic awareness as central parts of jazz performance.

This workshop forms part of the festival’s wider masterclass programme, complementing the different guitar styles represented across the concerts. It is aimed at guitarists who wish to strengthen their understanding of jazz vocabulary and develop a more confident, expressive approach to the instrument.
