Aldo Mazza, KoSA Founder and Artistic Director of Koza Music has provided top level drum and percussion workshops, camps, and festivals around the world.

Aldo states "Essentially, we know that music is the only universal language. It transcends all social, economic, cultural and political boundaries. Within every KoSA project, this is our core philosophy that with the sharing of music, the world works better, much better. Our camp this year is the seventeenth and it is being held from July 24-29 at Castleton State College in Vermont and it is known as The World's Greatest Drum Camp.

"Keeping up with the times, KoSA is very pleased to announce Live Video Streaming from KoSA 17 on Drum Channel. We are extremely grateful to Drum Channel for providing this link to our world renowned annual event. This will allow those who have been to KoSA to catch up with this year's performances, and for those around the world who may be unfamiliar with the KoSA experience, this live stream offers a tiny slice of the once-in-a-lifetime performances and 24/7 excitement a KoSA event offers."
