The fifth Double Bass Kaleidoscope, under the leadership of Prof. Silvio Dalla Torre, will take place in March 2012 (11-18). One of its focuses will be the subject of the orchestra audition, which, in view of both practical playing and mental training, will be examined under the guidance of experienced professors.
In addition, an audition competition will be held for the first time. As well as concerts by lecturers and participants, various performances and discussions, there will again be ample opportunity for exciting exchanges of opinion, not least during the evening meetings. For the first time, a national meeting of the Pädagogischen Arbeitsgemeinschaften Kontrabass (Association of Double Bass Teachers, PAK) will precede the Double Bass Kaleidoscope.
