These Master Classes are designed for professional or pre-professional musicians.
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 reflexion and discussion on a given theme, and practical exercises to prepare.
The number of chamber music ensembles is limited to 8.
