ImproVision – The second improv festival at Villa Seligmann<\/h3>\n

From November 12 to 16, international stars of the improv scene will once again be guests in Hanover, presenting an extensive program of concerts, workshops and interactive events.<\/p>\n

Musical improvisation is demonstrably a basic component of historical performance practice and a primary source of music creation. It exists in all styles and musical genres. As a philosophy of life, it stands for freedom of expression and form with instinctive, sensual and also intellectual approaches. In contrast to musical interpretation (of already composed works), improvisation is interactive and spontaneous: it enters into a creative exchange with the listener and opens up hitherto little-explored and little-known paths of communication. Beyond musical abstraction, the ability to improvise is a high craft that requires special skills and characteristics. <\/p>\n

With these guiding principles in mind, Villa Seligmann invites those interested in culture, young creatives and curious concertgoers to have a lively experience in the creation of improvisation and to play an active role in shaping it. The festival is not a specialist conference, but an open space for creativity in which the boundaries between performers and listeners are conceptually and spatially dissolved. As a source of inspiration, the festival is aimed at all people who are looking for inspiration and new ways of interacting and who want to gain an insight into the world of unlimited musical possibilities. <\/p>\n

The program consists of 10 concert encounters and 2 workshops. The performing artists are internationally recognized greats in the field of improvisation. In all events, the listeners play a decisive role in shaping the program. <\/p>\n

\n

Wed, November 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

7 p.m.<\/em> <\/span>Concertante encounter with Omer Klein (jazz improvisation)<\/p>\n

\n

Thu, November 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Fri, November 14<\/strong><\/p>\n

7 p.m.<\/em><\/span> “Synaesthesia in improvisation”<\/p>\n

Marina Baranova transfers the synaesthetic impressions into the music. Visuals by Damian Marhulets, dance by Sara Ezzrell and impulses from the audience flow into her improvisation and mark the moment. <\/p>\n

8 p.m.<\/em><\/span> “Untold Tales” – Concertante encounter with pianist and composer Beatrice Berrut<\/p>\n

In a concertante encounter with the audience, Beatrice Berrut plays her own works “Untold Tales” and “Polaris & C\u00e9ph\u00e9ides”, the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” by Paul Dukas and Gustav Mahler’s “Andante Moderato” from the 6th Symphony – both expanded with her own improvisations.<\/p>\n

9.30 pm<\/span> <\/em>Silent Movie Night “The Golem”, with improvisational accompaniment by Jean-Baptiste Doulcet<\/p>\n

\n

Sat, November 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

11 am <\/em><\/span>Lecture and workshop with John Mortensen \/ Open Stage for young improvisers<\/p>\n

7 pm<\/em><\/span> “Vision: near, far, and imaginary”<\/p>\n

Can musical improvisation inspire us to see things differently?<\/em>
\nThe magic of the unpredictable unfolds in Noam Sivan’s concert: From familiar sounds, surprising twists and turns and new meanings emerge in free improvisation. A special moment – playing blindfolded – reveals a deeper dimension of musical intuition. <\/p>\n

8 p.m.<\/em><\/span> “Piano Battle” with Georg Thoma and Jean-Baptiste Doulcet<\/p>\n

10 pm<\/span><\/em> “Orphic Hymns” – A sensual sound meditation with electronic sounds<\/p>\n

In an intimate atmosphere and softly dimmed lighting, the sense of sight is allowed to rest – and the electronic sounds fill the room.
\nWith his Orphic Hymns, multimedia artist and composer Damian Marhulets creates improvised sound meditations that lead inwards and widen the view – towards the infinity of being.<\/p>\n

\n

Sun, November 16<\/strong><\/p>\n

9 am<\/em><\/span> Workshop\/Masterclass with Noam Sivan<\/p>\n

6 p.m.<\/em><\/span> “Music at a glance” with Markus Becker<\/p>\n

Music always has a direction, a view. It looks forwards or backwards, moves forward, hesitates, lingers, searches, finds. This is particularly noticeable in Markus Becker’s improvisations. <\/p>\n

7 p.m.<\/em><\/span> “Bring Your Own Story<\/span><\/span>” – Wish concert with Noam Sivan, Marina Baranova, Georg Thoma, Ashley Hribar and John Mortensen<\/p>\n

\nIrene Zandel<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Marina Baranova<\/strong>
\nMarina Baranova was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and has lived in Hanover since the age of 19. As the daughter of a couple of pianists, she grew up in a world of classical music, jazz and improvisation. She began playing the piano at the age of five. After moving to Germany, she studied at the HMTM Hanover. After numerous successful competitions and debuts, she realized that a career as a classical pianist only expressed part of her musical personality. At the same time, she also remembered another talent that had already made itself felt in her childhood, in addition to absolute pitch: synaesthesia. In Marina Baranova’s case, it is the combination of sounds and colors that leads to creative explosions in her head. She returned to improvisation and composition. To date, she has released seven albums in which she combines classical music, jazz, minimal music and synaesthesia. Since spring 2024, she has been running her own music salon at Villa Seligmann in Hanover. The aim of this space is not only to listen to music, but also to reflect on it, discuss it and experience it in a comprehensive sense. <\/p>\n

\nIrene Zandel<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Prof. Markus Becker<\/strong>
\nProf. Markus Becker has established himself as an outstanding interpreter of piano literature from Bach to the modern era and impresses with his versatility, both in classical music and jazz. He regularly performs at renowned festivals such as the Ruhr Piano Festival and the Beethovenfest Bonn and has worked with leading orchestras and conductors such as Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic. His recordings, including the complete recording of Max Reger’s piano works, have received numerous awards. As a professor at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media, he has been passing on his knowledge to a successful pianist and chamber music class since 1993. <\/p>\n

Beatrice Berrut<\/strong>
\nBeatrice Berrut is a Swiss pianist and composer. Her dynamic work as a successful soloist, composer, arranger and artistic director of her own festival “Les Ondes” in Switzerland, has made her a cultural visionary in the European art scene. Her musical vision is inspired by the legacies of European spirituality and mysticism, skillfully navigating the wide range of music by composers such as Bach and Liszt to create a series of acclaimed recordings that serve as a meeting point for her listeners to find common ground and shared experiences. Deeply convinced of the exclusive existence of either good or bad music, Beatrice’s work is fluent in all compositional genres, which is why she has also been commissioned to write works for classical music series as well as for electronic music festivals and for films. An iconoclast and ardent defender of the classical tradition, Beatrice’s strong desire to democratize classical music and break down the barriers between genres has led her to create her own festival, where traditional classical music concerts meet klezmer, jazz or flamenco. <\/p>\n

\nXiomara Bender<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Lucas Debargue<\/strong>
\nBorn in 1990, Lucas Debargue took a highly unconventional path to success. After discovering classical music at the age of 10, he began to nourish his passion and curiosity with a variety of artistic and intellectual experiences, including studies in literature and philosophy. An interpreter of great integrity and impressive expressiveness, Lucas Debargue draws inspiration from literature, painting, cinema and jazz in his playing, developing a very personal interpretation of a carefully selected repertoire. Although the core piano repertoire is at the center of his career, he enjoys presenting works by lesser-known composers. Debargue devotes much of his time to composition and has already created over twenty works for solo piano and chamber ensembles. Today, he is invited to perform as a soloist and with leading orchestras in the world’s most prestigious concert halls. <\/p>\n

His second album (Schumann and Liszt) was released in 2022 on the Mirare label. Jean-Baptiste is a versatile artist, known for his musical personality both as a soloist and as a chamber musician, but also for his improvisational concerts. As a composer, he has written more than twenty works for solo instruments, chamber music or larger ensembles. <\/p>\n
