Die Jahreszeiten meiner Kindheit in Israel

In the organizer's words:

For the first time, a pocket festival entitled "Abenteuer Improvisation - Eine Welt der unbegrenzten (musikalischen) Möglichkeiten" 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.

The festival consists of four concert encounters, three lectures, a workshop and free improv interludes. At the center of the encounters is the art of improvisation as an interface between identification, cultural heritage and experience.

THE SEASONS OF MY CHILDHOOD
Matinée with Ido Ramot (Israel) with piano improvisations on themes from P. Tchaikovsky's "Seasons", followed by a salon talk

In his project on Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons", the 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. Alongside Tchaikovsky's work, he presents his own improvisations inspired by the seasons of his childhood in Israel. While Tchaikovsky musically captures the moods and landscapes of his Russian homeland, Ramot's improvisations reflect the colors, sounds and atmospheres of Israeli nature.
