I´ve just had a nice Kick-Off for my Online Seminar about Klassik & Improvisation. Improvisation always played a major role also in classical music but was forgotten as a valuable art form in the concert context. I´ve done research on this topic for over 7 years now and I still discover so many interesting perspectives on it. 

If you are interested in joining the next seminar, drop me a line. There will be seminars in English, German and Spanish in the future.
