Last February, we had the honour of participating in the XV edition of the Double Reed Congress in SevilleThe event brought together bassoonists and oboists from all over Spain and beyond.
From NA BASSOONS we set ourselves the challenge of making a improvisation workshop with a challenge. Not only, it was about getting away from the score, in this case we also wanted to lose the fear of that dreaded first beat of the bar that binds us so much within the classical context. To explore different forms of musical expression, leaving behind classical structures and giving space for creativity, all through Cuban rhythms. 🌍🎶
The result was a unique and joint compositionThe energy and the connection between all the participants was great, and best of all... we ended up creating what could be the soundtrack of the congress! While the audience accompanied us singing the choruses of "ADCS..."We felt how the music flowed naturally and authentically.
In addition, this trip has had a special meaning for us, as we also celebrated the incorporation of Musikarte Instruments as official NA Bassoons shop. It will also offer an official technical service for NA Bassoons thanks to its specialised workshop. 😍
Thanks to all teachers and assistants for inviting us to be part of such an inspiring meeting, an experience that we would definitely like to repeat in future editions!
