Study Group
The Toronto Ravel Group
The New Orleans Ravel Study Group meets the first Friday of each month to talk about music and orchestration, beginning with Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloe Suites.
Knowing that most composers spend an unhealthy amount of time isolated in our studios, Ron Jones (Family Guy, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Mission: Impossible…) started the group in L.A. in 2008 as a way to bring composers together face-to-face, share ideas and realize the benefits of sunlight.
Ravel study groups can be found in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Tokyo, Toronto and now New Orleans.
It is more a place for anyone interested in music to discover and learn than it is an academic study. We get together to talk about this stuff because we love it. It has no purpose other than study for its own sake, and to get together with like-minded people.
You do not need to be a musician or understand music terminology to love these meetings. Attendees in other cities include musicians, producers, filmmakers, recording engineers, mixing and mastering engineers, media artists, fans of music - everyone from music lovers who thought they were “tone deaf”, to professional composers.
Meetings are free to attend. Contact us to find out more and to reserve your spot.
Sebastian St. John is a conservatory drop out and self-retired touring musician who once wanted to be a music composition and theory professor.
He has performed, composed, arranged and orchestrated music with artists from around the world.
Ravel Study meets the first Friday of every month.
