Spotlight on Claron McFadden: Workshop Zwerm

"Improvisation & Experiment" Workshop

This workshop encourages exploring new sounds, expands instrumental boundaries, sparks compositional and improvisational creativity, and promotes freedom in playing—solo and in groups! It's open to anyone 15+ with basic instrument proficiency and an openness to new musical experiences. Led by flutist, music educator, and dramaturge Pia Marei Hauser, participants take first steps away from sheet music and into improvisation: How can I musically express myself? What other sounds can enrich the music? How does group playing work? These questions will be explored during the workshop, with a final presentation where participants will perform their own music.
