Coming
home from work, getting dressed, making your way through traffic,
finding a parking and finally your seats β congratulations: you just
made it to the concert hall in time! The orchestra has tuned, the
conductor or a group of musicians comes on stage β by the way, what
exactly are they playing tonight and in which order? And is there a
soloist? Too late to buy a program, and if you bought one: too dark to
read it... and anyway: should you not just enjoy listening now?
This is the moment for Karsten to warm people up, truly
reach them in order to create a personal band between the musicians and
their listeners. A charismatic, easygoing, knowledgeable yet
entertaining way to share his passion about music from the insight of
an experienced musician β this is how Karsten opens ears and hearts for music before and during a concert. With
a personal subtle sense of humor he makes even complicated musical
terms understandable to a wide audience and knows how to appeal both to
less experienced concert goers as well as to music experts.
Karsten
does not only introduce any musical program in English, French and
German, but also creates his own concepts for galas, special moderated
theme concerts, chamber music series, open air venues and family
concerts. In family concerts his heart beats especially for children
and young adults, because he knows that the future of classical music
lies in their hands. Public rehearsals and symphonic workshops, where
musical examples may be played before the performance itself, allow him to
go even more into detail with classical music and itβs
interpretation.
