"Storioni Trio" In Brief

As the picture beside [sorry the pic is not good enough], i saw the concert several months ago at Erasmus Huis. Let's me write here about the "Trio Storioni" for you. For people who like very much about the classic music. Here the resume that i made from the brocure i read. [Sorry if not enough complete. LOL!]

The Storioni Trio was founded in 1995 by Bart van de Roer [piano], Wouter Vossen [violin] and Marc Vossen [cello]. The trio derives its name from the Laurentius Storioni violin from Cremona, which dates from 1794 and is played by Wouter Vossen. Marc Vossen plays a Giovanni Grancino cello from Milan, dating from 1700. In order to develop its ensamble-playing, the trio has worked over the years with great musicians such as Isaac Stern, Mstislav Rostropovich, Menahem Pressler, and Ralph Kirshbaum, as well as members of the Emerson Quartet and the Vermeer Quartet.

The Storioni Trio regularly performs at all major venues in the Netherland, such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Doelen concert hall in Rotterdam, and the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht. The trio is Artistic director of the "Storioni Festifal" at the Muziekcentrum Frits Philips in Eindhoven of which the 2nd edition taken place in January 2009. Guest musicians from all over the world joined the trio festival during which unique chamber music programmes with top international musicians as well as upcoming talented musicians of the highest calibre are presented.

Top 7 Do's And Don'ts For Successfull Improvisation (2)

Top Seven Don'ts for Successful Improvisation

1. Don't try and make something happen. Trying blocks the creative flow and will result in blocks;
2. Don't expect to create something good. Expectations will always come with judgements and, consequently, you'll end up feeling let down;
3. Don't worry about what is "coming out." Improvisation is about play and freedom to explore. Abandon unrealistic expectations and experience the joy of improvisation;
4. Don't try and please others. The first person you must please is yourself. This may seem obvious but don't underestimate the strong need to please - ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE ARTS!;
5. Don't try and accumulate a "lot of knowledge." All it takes to improvise is a few chords and the proper attitude;
6. Don't think. Improvisation is about FEELING. It's about being in the moment and experiencing the moment through the music. Thinking will take you away from your intuition, which will guide you if you listen to it. Intuition will lead you places thinking never could!;
7. Don't quit. Practice is what makes intuition stronger. The more you practice or play, the stronger your intuition will grow and the more you will trust it. Your unique voice will emerge and will grow stronger each time you sit down to play.

Top 7 Do's And Don'ts For Successfull Improvisation (1)

Top Seven Dos for Successful Improvisation

1. Do listen to what's going on inside yourself before and while you sit down to play - your inner state will determine the emotional quality of your playing;
2. Do let go of the need to be perfect. Trying to "be correct" will defeat the playful attitude necessary for improvisation;
3. Do believe that you are good enough to begin. No one person knows it all so you might as well jump in and experience the joy of improvisation;
4. Do realize that you don't need a lot of theory or technique before you're ready to play piano in the new age style. If you don't begin now, when will you?;
5. Do understand that improvisation is not some mysterious skill, but a game that can be learned and played just like any other game;
6. Do enjoy the process and let go of the outcome. Trying to control what comes out of you is a sure way to stop the creative flow;
7. Do stop playing when you become bored or indifferent. There is a natural starting and stopping point to playing. Just like anything, when you feel yourself growing disinterested, stop playing.
