Everyone does this. All musicians. Sooner or later during the concert, you will have to talk about the music you are playing. How and why should this be done?
This spring, we dedicated three master classes to these eternal questions. Their mentors will be people who have held dozens/hundreds of concerts and have vast experience in such moderation:
– Tetiana Novytska, the National Philharmonic of Ukraine (March).
– Oleksandr Ostrovskyi, the National House of Music (April).
– Liuba Morozova, the Ukrainian Institute / Theater Altenburg Gera (May).
Each master class will begin with an introduction in which the mentor will talk about their experience and approach to preparing and moderating concert programs.
After that, active participants of the master class will be able to show their performances as program moderators, work on them, and receive practical recommendations from mentors.
Applications for active participation in Liuba Morozova’s master class can be submitted until May 21 inclusive by email academy@vere.fund.
What should be in the application:
* Name.

* Date of birth (day, month, year).

* E-mail.
* Facebook page / Plus professional Facebook page (if available).
