Concerts in the Summer Hall · 2025 Saison
Improvisations from Renaissance to Baroque
Students of the University of Music Leipzig improvise led by Martin Erhardt.
Spontaneity, inventiveness and great technical abilities are the characteristics of the masters of improvisation. Many well known composers were great improvisers. And so it no surprise that it is regarded as an important part of teaching today’s students to improvise in the styles typical for different epochs.
