David E. Robinson III:
The Still Waters Youth Sinfo-Nia of Metropolitan Atlanta will be holding its 24th annual two-week Summer Academy July 8-19, 2013 in a downtown Atlanta location (to be announced shortly). The hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM (very convenient for parents who work during those hours; drop-off as early as 7:30 AM and pick-up as late as 6:00 PM). Sinfo-Nia is looking for string students (violin, viola, cello, and doublle bass) on all levels: beginning, intermediate, and advanced; woodwinds, brass, and percussion - advanced level only. Ashanti Floyd, also known as "The Mad Violinist" is scheduled to give a workshop during that time like he did last year. Sinfo-Nia performed with him this spring in a music video called, "Battle Field," which is on YouTube.
Sinfo-Nia was founded in 1990 as the William Grant Still Memorial Youth Orchestra by its conductor, David E. Robinson III. For more information, please call (404) 328-0840 or send an e-mail to stillwaters690@gmail.com. The website is under construction at the moment.
