Live Art Performance

In my Performance I will represent the Piece of Jörg Widmann, a German Clarinetist and teacher. This piece “Fantasie” is Contemporary which uses different clarinet techniques and is without accompainment. I always found the beauty in Contemporary Art and Music, maybe because I like the search for

clarity in a little mess. Such pieces every musician will play obvious differently because they are free and for a solo instrument. The other pieces which I will play with a Flutist is a classical based piece which reminds on Mozart and his time. I want the audience to be interested in what I/we do and listen to what we can offer.

"I find classical music helps me in a place that is very calming and helps me to express my emotions that are caught in my body and brain. I'm speaking and telling my story that comes through my Instrument-Clarinet. On the other hand contemporary music with it's complex and experimental way wakes up the unique part of me. I will be representing a modern and a classical piece which are very different in its different ways of using the clarinet sound."
