DESCRIPTION
Experience the dynamic „Style Workout“ workshop, where musicians immerse themselves in diverse styles, intricate rhythms, the art of improvisation, and the sheer delight of instrument-based fun.
Guided by Aleksey Igudesman, participants explore classical and ethnic music, along with Igudesman‘s own eclectic compositions and improvisations, delving into various playing techniques while incorporating movement and dance.
Discover rhythms beyond the classical repertoire, alternative sound production, and stylistic ornamentation from Indian, Arabic, Celtic, Balkan, Klezmer, Jazz, and Rock music.
Humor and its translation to the instrument are also explored, making this workshop inclusive for all instrumentalists. Igudesman‘s expertise in physical movement and dance during performance further enriches this extraordinary and unconventional workshop.
Igudesman has published numerous books for string instruments published by Universal Edition, including titles such as "Klezmer & More," "Celtic & More," "Latin & More," "Asia & More," "Violin & Viola & More," "Violin & Cello & More," and "Fasten Seat Belts” (for solo violin) among many others. Workshop participants will have the exciting opportunity to delve into some of Igudesman's iconic compositions alongside the composer himself.
