  • Duo Bartolomey Bittmann

Programme

Improvisation Workshop

Courage for spontaneity: as part of the cello masterclasses of the Kronberg Festival, the duo BartolomeyBittmann invites participants to a workshop that takes them out of their comfort zone.

Entitled “What Would I Be Without Sheet Music?”, the workshop focuses on improvisation — playing without a written score, but with open ears, curiosity, and a spirit of experimentation. Through playful formats and small challenges, the students discover new paths of musical expression, respond to one another, and dare to step into the unknown.

A workshop that calls for courage and rewards participants with musical freedom and new perspectives.
