Situation
Its research results have been presented at international symposiums, in doctoral theses, anthology volumes, articles and on CDs. The sources, data, findings and results of this research are now intended to be communicated to a very broad public by means of concerts, discussions and workshops, but most of all by letting them engage with the topic themselves. Our main goals are to get people to listen more keenly, and to play more freely, in order to become acquainted with “interpretation” as a discipline of its own.
