Workshop: String Instruments in Pop Music with Christoph Meier

The workshop explores the diverse applications of string instruments in pop music. Instead of limiting them to romantic or orchestral sounds, the violin, cello, and similar instruments are presented as solo, rhythm, harmony, or bass instruments. Through practical examples and collaborative exercises, playing techniques, sound concepts, and musical functions are tested and implemented directly.

Under the guidance of Christoph Meier, a classically trained cellist and guitarist with a focus on jazz and composition, participants gain insights into creative applications. Active participation requires an instrument of your own.

Christoph Meier is involved in numerous projects, including the Christoph Meier Quartet and Djaro & die anonymen Melancholiker, blending classical training with contemporary music styles.
