Jain recently created his theatrical music memoir\, Love Force\, developed as an Artist-In-Residence and Visiting Scholar at Wesleyan University; and has been announced as a 2025 commissioned artist by NYC cultural pillar Soho Rep.

SUMMARY:Bruce Molsky and Martin Philip: Fiddle & Flour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of artist and artisan workshops!\n1:00 pm Fiddle Workshop\nWe’ll take a fun approach in Bruce’s old time fiddle workshop and dig into a few tunes\, first melody\, then bowing\, and then piecing things together.  It’s all about old-time music’s unique phrasing\, rhythm and syncopation\, intonation\, etc.  Bruce will demonstrate some regional styles and tunings\, too\, but mostly we’ll be playing!  \nSuggested experience level:  If you have at least a small repertoire and feel comfortable learning short phrases by ear\, then you’ll be fine. No written music will be provided\, so bring a recorder or smart phone. Please\, do not post recordings on social media. \n1:00 pm Bread Workshop\nJoin author and baker Martin Philip for a bread talk\, short demonstration\, and Q&A on all things baking.
