London, july 2020: End of term concert in a video clip

It was a somewhat special end of term concert. Open air, in the beautiful Tibetan Peace Garden, with lots of space – but no audience invited!

Due to corona restrictions, the concert could only take place in a mini group – almost without a direct audience. For you, the most important audience was a camera: So you can now, at any time, listen to the concert, including some city background sound.

The spring semester is now over. With lockdown, online music lessons, improvisation: «What a term it was… !!!» — «Thank you ever so much for all the fabulous teaching this term, and well done for the dedicated practice and perseverance !»
