Workshop Recorder Music from Taiwan (with Meng-Heng Chen)

The recorder music from Taiwan is beautiful, innovative and makes an important part of the recorder literature. Meng-Heng Chen will give an introduction and practice of recorder music from Taiwan, including solo and ensemble works.

Ensemble Workshop Klezmer (with Duo NIHZ)

Duo NIHZ is known worldwide for interpreting Klezmer. Bobby Rootveld and Sanna van Elst lead workshops around the world with their arrangements of klezmer songs. You can expect melancholic and lively melodies combined with touching stories about the music during this workshop. Also this year Duo NIHZ will present some new Klezmer ensemble arrangements at the Nordhorn Recorder Festival.

Ensemble Workshop Pastorale (with Regina Himmelbauer)

Pastorale - rural idyll or mirage? In the workshop we play arrangements of well-known and lesser-known pastorals from several centuries, but also approach various images using free improvisations. No prior knowledge of improvisation necessary, just the courage to move physically and mentally.

Workshop Csakan (with Nik Tarasov & Vincenta Prüger)

Imagine going on a walk and hearing a beautiful melody. Where does it come from? Is there a bird somewhere chirping his tunes to attract attention to his beautiful feathers or can it be something else? Can it be ... a recorder!? But what type of recorder? Over the course of the centuries there have been various types of recorders invented with the intention to be played outside. In this workshop we are going on a stroll and alongside our journey we will discover instruments like the Csakan or the Flageolet, but we are also going to mention the impact nature has on the development of Melodies for the recorder. Come and join us in order to learn something new and to listen to the various sound characteristics of the mentioned instruments.
