I started Max with Ben Thigpen and FFT with Hans Tutschku: difficult to find a better team for that. Performers include Hans Tutschku’s Ensemble für Intuitive Musik, as well as Nicholas Isherwood, an amazing vocalist. The web site doesn’t list the pieces played, though.

The faculty, staff, musicians, and fellow students couldn’t have been nicer and the performances were top notch.

Two suggestions to attendees:

1) Bring along some “comfort music” — 16 hours a day of contemporary fare may require a brief respite when you return to your room!

2) Bring granola bars or other non-perishable food along. The breakneck pace of classes, presentations, rehearsals, and performances occasionally leaves little time to eat.

Enjoy!

Best,
Christian
