Through an alternation of guided workshops and self-organized labs, space is created for a wide range of musical experiences: Beginners can take their first steps into free improvisation, while experienced participants can expand and deepen their practice—all in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

The series concludes with a performance at the historical dance ball as part of the zamus: early music festival in May 2027 (participation is optional, however). Together, we’ll realize a live improvisation project that accompanies dancers and literally sets early music in motion.
