Motifs in nature and/or in an urban context (urban sketching) are our starting point: we put our impressions on site on paper or on canvas. Each participant finds a personal approach to artistically dealing with the place and the time spent there. The focus should be on the process, the experiment and the experience, not the result.
Topics such as horizon, perspective, plot, composition, structures, light and shadow, Lo sfumato, La sprezzatura etc. are discussed and, if necessary, expanded upon.
Depending on the weather and location, different materials can be used and combined in unusual ways.

I would like to encourage and support the participants to develop a personal approach to this issue and their own forms of expression, using as wide a range of techniques and materials as possible, from classic drawing techniques to more unconventional means.
Individual and group discussions about the experiences gained in drawing experiments should also be accompanied by occasional excursions into art history and visits to exhibitions on the subject.

The course leader Yu Chuan is a master of the erhu, a traditional Chinese two-stringed string instrument that is not only used to perform traditional Chinese music, but is now also used to play transcriptions of works by Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens, and other composers.
His compositions and transcriptions of well-known works in various configurations, which are now part of the standard repertoire in Asian concert halls, attract particular attention.
In addition to his concert appearances as a soloist and chamber musician in Asia and the West, Yu Chuan teaches erhu, conducting, and composition at the University of Beijing and is the musical director of the Beijing Wujie Chamber Orchestra.
The premiere of his children's musical “If instruments could speak” took place in 2023.

Each student arrives with their own history, profile and preferences and my initial aim is to accommodate the wishes of each individual. At the same time I encourage a broader experience of the „unfamiliar“ - instruments of different tunings, varying historical bows, etc. - in order to approach the historical context of bass instrument players of the Baroque era, where „adaptability“ was the order of the day.
In addition to the opportunity to participate in a class Bass Consort, an informed and practical approach to the Basso Continuo role of the Violone and Contrabass in Baroque music will of course provide an essential element to the class programme.
