Improvisation: The speed of light
Noam Sivan, piano
How can music be created and performed live at the same time, so quickly and in real time?
What goes on in an improviser’s head?
How can you prepare for this mysterious and yet magical act of making music?
In this concert, Noam Sivan presents the art of piano improvisation, shares his personal experiences as an artist and places them in the context of his Jewish identity. Immediately before the start of the Jewish festival of lights, Noam Sivan draws inspiration from the tradition of the Hanukkah story with its mystical aspects, but also from the rich song repertoire of the eight-day festival.
On the morning of November 29, Prof. Sivan will share his extensive knowledge with students and lovers of music improvisation in a workshop lasting several hours. You can find out how this works in practice and what comes out of it from the recordings of Noam Sivan’s workshops from 2024 and 2025 on our YouTube channel. Registration for active participation at: anmeldung@villa-seligmann.de The workshop is open to everyone. No prior knowledge is required for passive participation.
