What makes artistic collaboration work?
In order to work well together artistically, it is essential to put one’s skills at the service of art. This requires finding a concerted musical language which can develop over the years and is consistently enriched by new impulses. But the last great secret for a successful feat remains: really listening to each other and singing for each other.
Which skill, that you learn by playing in an ensemble, is helpful for everyday life?
First, it can be very helpful in daily life to learn a certain form of discipline. This helps not to question every necessary work over and over again. In addition, the ensemble practices walking through difficult situations together and mastering them. Musical work in the ensemble trains the abilities to take responsibility and then give it back to the others. This fine interplay of forward and backward movement can be a useful basis of any accomplishment.
