Final concerts of workshop participants - admission free
Final Concerts in the old factory hall on Campus Nobel
For almost a week, the workshop participants are taught by their tutors. What they have worked out as a combo in this period, you show this evening. The combos are each coached by two lecturers - and it is always surprising how diverse the results of this "work phase" are. And one more thing becomes clear - the combos are the heart of this event, here meet the lecturers and students, here everyone wants to show what he can. And the joy of playing, the joy of music usually leaps over the audience as a spark.
- Admission at Campus Nobel starts 18.00h
