For my upcoming Gypsy Jazz workshops in Switzerland and in the Cévennes, I have a small challenge to overcome. Since I am a violinist, my workshops naturally fill up with violinists. Yet, what I love above all else is creating genuine interaction between violinists and other instrumentalists. That is why I chose to offer global Gypsy Jazz workshops rather than exclusive jazz violin workshops. The problem is that I am still short on guitarists and double bassists—and why not other instruments—to equip our workshops and get the tunes rolling in real-world conditions! How can you help me? I am relying on WORD-OF-MOUTH. If you know any guitarists or double bassists around you, or other instrumentalists who want to learn gypsy jazz, please tell them about my workshops in Fribourg and in the Cévennes. It is the perfect opportunity to work on accompaniment, la pompe, rhythmic placement, and improvisation within a real collective of musicians. We happily welcome guitarists or other instrumentalists who want to discover the style, as we have several teachers available. As for the double bassists, they will have the luxury of getting individual lessons... 👉 All the info on both workshops and the full schedule of the Sessions Manouches festival are available here: https://www.evaslongo.com/sessions-manouches-links Thank you so much for your help and for sharing, and see you very soon for more music!

👉The Fribourg workshop is just around the corner! It’s a real homecoming for me, and we still have a few spots available, as well as for the concerts organized around the city with some very special guests. Here are the links to join us: - Buy concert tickets - Workshop details and registration I know prices in Switzerland can be high, so if finances are an issue, please don't hesitate to reach out. 👉Update on the Cévennes workshop (August) Single rooms are now fully booked. However, there are still: - 2 spots left in shared rooms - Spots available for camping If you prefer a single room, there are still several rental options available in or around the village if you have a car. More information about the Cévennes workshop HERE 👉Jazz Violin Academy This week, I’ll be teaching two classes on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, Mathilde will lead a session at a slightly calmer pace. And on Thursday, Monica Acevedo will give her second masterclass… She’s going to show us how she blends her voice with her instrument, drawing inspiration from her Spanish roots... Straight from my place in Valencia! It’s a funny coincidence: she’s performing near Valencia this weekend, so I invited her over to my house — and we’re going to make the most of it by hosting this class together using my gear. To join, you just need to upgrade to VIP on the platform. I explain absolutely everything in detail (registration, schedule, how it works, etc.) right here: https://violon-jazz.systeme.io/academie-de-violon-jazz For 7 classes a month, the price is incredibly low (around 6 euros per hour!). I really wish I’d had this kind of opportunity back when I was learning jazz violin... I can't wait to finally meet you, whether online or at one of the workshops!

So happy, so grateful. No Words to express how great it was. Thanks to the amazing musicians, teachers and students! Can't wait now for - FRIBOURG June 25 to 27 - CEVENNES August 13 to 16 MORE INFO ON https://www.skool.com/jazz-violin-academy/classroom/08e815e6

Hello everyone, The whole team is actively preparing for the launch of Sessions Manouches, the brand new Gypsy jazz workshop in Valencia, my current home city! To give you a taste of the atmosphere that awaits us, here's a spontaneous session recorded at the Valencia Violins luthier's studio with Federico Nathan and Jimmy Grant playing the famous "Troublant Boléro." Here's the link: https://youtu.be/EdmLccZs0UU The workshop is full with 24 participants! But we could still accept one more guitarist. Dates: May 1, 2, and 3, 2026 Location: Valencia, Spain Information and registration: https://violon-jazz.systeme.io/sessions-manouches-valencia-en If you can't attend the workshop, come join us at the public concerts taking place during these three days. Book your tickets here: https://www.evaslongo.com/ See you soon! Eva

Quick update on the "Sessions Manouches" workshop in Valencia (May 1–3). We are filling up fast, but there are still a few spots left if you want to join us in the heart of the city for three days of total immersion in Gypsy Jazz! HERE is a poster of the whole program. I’ll be joined by an incredible team: Federico Nathan and myself on violin, Romain Vuillemin, Jimmy Grant, and Noah Young on guitar, and Matt Baker and Carlos Rubio on double bass. Workshops, concerts, and jams—it’s going to be intense! A quick personal note... Between Valencia, Fribourg, and the Cévennes, I’ve definitely had a bit of "folie des grandeurs" this year! It’s a huge challenge, and to be honest, the budget is tight to cover everything fairly since some grants didn't come through. If you'd like to support this project, I’ve set up a support link. Every bit helps us keep this adventure alive, and I’ll be personally thanking all supporters on social media.
