The third workshop concert of the project takes a look at the connection between improvisation and solo concerto in 20th century music
The #freesolo project looks at the tension between autocracy and democracy, the balance between action and reaction, the balance between loud demands and careful listening. To this end, the Stegreif Orchestra scrutinises the solo concerto and the classical orchestral apparatus for its contrasting forms of conducting. Improvisation plays a leading role and forms the musical means of this project through the development of individual solo to collaborative group improvisations.
As composer in residence, the composer, pianist and improviser Noam Sivan develops a stylistic repertoire together with the Stegreif Orchestra that is created in the moment and questions current musical practice.
