Beyond the Sounds
upcoming Master classes for Chamber Music
2010 / 2011
Konrad von Abel (director)
These Master Classes are designed for professional or pre-professional musicians. The classes are recommended for conductors and conducting students as well.
Konrad von Abel’s teaching focuses on the music phenomenology developed by conductor Sergiu Celibidache. It aims at helping each musician to establish a direct contact with music through the observation and free listening of sound phenomena unhampered by conceptions and conventions.
· Chamber music practice is supported by reflection and discussion on a given theme.
· The chosen musical works and examples are to be prepared with the score.
· The number of chamber music ensembles is limited to 8, each one benefiting from about four hours of class over six days. A few solo performances may be accepted based on space available.
