Sibafest: Improvisation in Early Music – Anthony Marini
This session introduces different ways that improvisation is used in early music
One of the hallmarks of early music is the scarcity of information on the page, and the importance of tools such as improvisation to bring the notes to life. In this session, we will look at the different ways that improvisation is used in early music, as well as putting this information into practice through diminutions. Be sure to stay for the Ground Workshop, which will give you a chance to really put your skills to good use!
The doors will open 15 minutes before the event starts. Places are filled in the order of arrival.
