[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]For the first time, a pocket festival entitled “Abenteuer Improvisation – Eine Welt der unbegrenzten (musikalischen) M\u00f6glichkeiten” will take place at Villa Seligmann from November 7 to 9, 2024. “Pocket festival” is a term borrowed from the English pocket festival. It refers to the small format of the event, but also symbolizes the unexpected, surprising and unsuspected that you can find in your own pockets. <\/p>\n

In addition to professional musicians, participants include students and the general public, who are not necessarily musically educated, and who can not only listen, but also take part in open discussions and express their musical wishes. The Taschen Festival is therefore aimed at anyone who wants to gain an insight into this world of unlimited musical possibilities. <\/p>\n

Prof. em.
\nDr. med. Eckart Altenm\u00fcller <\/strong>is Scientific Vice President and Director of the Institute for Music Physiology and Musicians’ Medicine at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media (HMTMH). After studying medicine in T\u00fcbingen, Paris and Freiburg as well as music (flute) in Freiburg, he specialized in neurophysiology and neurology. From 1994 to January 2024, he headed the institute in Hanover and conducted intensive research into the central nervous processing of music and the sensorimotor function of music-making. He also set up a special outpatient clinic for music disorders. He remains artistically active as a concert flutist. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prof. Noam Sivan<\/strong> is a pianist and composer and a pioneer in the revival of classical improvisation.
\nHe plays fugues and four-movement sonatas extemporaneously, conducts orchestral and choral improvisations and collaborates with instrumentalists, singers, dancers and actors.
\nHis solo album Ambiro’s Journey<\/em> has been described as a “new milestone in the development of improvisation”.
\nBorn in Haifa, Israel in 1978, Noam Sivan was Director of Improvisation<\/em> at the Curtis Institute<\/em>and taught at the Juilliard School<\/em>.
\nIn the 2019\/20 winter semester, he was appointed professor at the HMDK Stuttgart, where he introduced one of the world’s first master’s degree courses in piano improvisation in October 2020. <\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

More about the bag festival<\/h4>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
<\/p>\n
How is music created?
\nWhat happens in the mind and body of the sound creator when improvising?
\nHow do instinct, intellect, identity, emotion and experience combine in improvisation?
\nHow does a performer recreate an already composed piece of music in performance?
\nWhat can we take away from improvisation for our everyday lives?<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are the questions that Villa Seligmann’s first pocket festival* on the theme of “Adventure Improvisation – A World of Unlimited (Musical) Possibilities” will address from 7 to 9 November 2024. The festival consists of four concert encounters, three lectures, a workshop and free improv interludes.
\n<\/strong>The encounters will focus on the art of improvisation as an interface between identification, cultural heritage and experience.<\/p>\n

Improvisation<\/em> is a special kind of music-making in which composition and performance are combined in real time. It is also a basic component of historical performance practice and as such a primary source of music creation.<\/h6>\n
Improvisation<\/em> can arise in all historical styles and musical genres. It is a matter of instinct, imagination, but also of experience and intellect.<\/h6>\n
Improvisation<\/em> is above all a philosophy of life that consists of freedom of expression and form. Experiencing them in concert is a unique experience: we hear the music for the first time and at the same time witness the creative process.<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a creative and informal setting, a comprehensive picture will be given of the physics, technique and manual skills through to the philosophy and abstraction of improvisation. Artists and speakers such as Prof. Noam Sivan (Stuttgart\/Israel), Prof. Markus Becker, Prof. Dr. Eckart Altenm\u00fcller, Prof. Roman Rofalski (Hanover) as well as Maria I. J. Reich, Ido Ramot and Damian Marhulets will come together under the artistic direction of pianist and composer Marina Baranova<\/a>. The participants also include students and the general public, who are not necessarily musically trained, and who can not only listen, but also take part in open discussions and express their musical wishes. The Taschen Festival is therefore not only aimed at musicians, but also at anyone who wants to gain an insight into this world of unlimited musical possibilities. <\/p>\n

\nTHE SEASONS OF MY CHILDHOOD
\nMatin\u00e9e with Ido Ramot<\/strong> (Israel) with piano improvisations on themes from P. Tchaikovsky’s “Seasons” followed by a salon discussion<\/p>\n

In his project based on Tchaikovsky’s “The Seasons”, Israeli artist Ido Ramot uses music as a medium to build bridges and at the same time make visible the differences between people in terms of their upbringing and environment.
\nAlongside Tchaikovsky’s work, he presents his own improvisations inspired by the seasons of his childhood in Israel.
\nWhile Tchaikovsky musically captures the moods and landscapes of his Russian homeland, Ramot’s improvisations reflect the colors, sounds and atmospheres of Israeli nature. <\/em><\/p>\n

\nKALEIDOSKOP-KONZERT
\nAbschlussveranstaltung des Festivals mit den Pianist:innen Georg Thoma<\/strong>, Ashley Hribar<\/strong>, Marina Baranova<\/strong>, Prof. Roman Rofalski <\/strong>(HMTM Hannover)<\/p>\n

Improvisation is a catalyst for extended musical interpretation, independent of style, historical context and performance practice.
\nImprovisation opens up a further dimension in musical interpretation, in which a momentary newness is created. <\/em>The creation of the work takes place for both the performers and their audience.<\/em><\/p>\n

In this kaleidoscope concert, the diversity of the art of improvisation interacts with the individual uniqueness of the performers.
\nThe performers thus bring the Taschen Festival to a close and at the same time open up a world of unlimited possibilities. <\/em><\/p>\n
