Improvisation – Between Chaos and Rigidity
Regional Weekend Lyre Workshop with Veronika Roemer

Veronika Roemer

 Since the summer of 2018, Martin Tobiassen and Christian Giersch have been offering an annual weeklong lyre intensive in Germany called “Sommerakademie”, and last year’s topic was “Improvisation”. Veronika Roemer participated in this course and is offering to share some exercises and musical impulses from the course!

We will be exploring the following elements as a basis for both solo an group improvisation:

  • Various tonal systems, scales, intervals, and musical forms 

  • Rhythm 

  • Musical Gestures – Gestures as Music

  • Impulse – Beginning – Ending

  • This workshop will be most suitable for intermediate to advanced lyre players, although this would include anyone who is comfortable to independently create, play, and repeat a musical phrase! Please reach out to me or to Veronika if you are not sure if this is for you.

Date: April 5 -7 (Friday evening – Sunday lunchtime)
Location: Triform Camphill Community, 20 Triform Rd., Hudson, NY 12534
Cost: sliding scale $60 – $100

I’m very excited that Veronika has agreed to offer this special workshop, which is limited to 12 participants.  We currently have 6 spots remaining, so we warmly invite a few others to consider joining us. Please register with me as soon as possible, and contact me if you need accommodations.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
