INTERNATIONALE TAGUNG FÜR IMPROVISATION, LUZERN
(International Conferences for Improvisation, Lucerne)
1990, 1993, 1996, 1999, 2002, 2005

The INTERNATIONALE TAGUNG FÜR IMPROVISATION, LUZERN contains lectures, seminars, workshops and concerts.

It offers a platform for the Improvisation on which - on the one hand - is reflected and reported on the very vast field of this theme (so in the lectures and seminars) and - on the other hand - on which the (above all musical) practise receives a central place.

Every time a special theme builds the focus of attention to which the respective events relate:

1990:   - THE "FREE" MUSICAL IMPROVISATION.
- IMPROVISATION AS ATTITUDE.
1993: THE ROOTS OF IMPROVISING:
ANTHROPOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL AND
GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS.
1996: TO THE QUESTION OF CLICHÉ AND STEREOTYPE.
1999: REFLECT ON MUSIC;
THINK MUSIC.
2002: IMPROVISE: WHAT FOR?
2005: QUESTIONS TO IDIOM AND TO QUALITY
