Storie.

Muziek lives only when the notes fly off the page and soar into glorious sound.

The Performers and the Konductor releases them from bondage through his or her feeling for their message, through the power of the Imagination, and by means of the physical technique one devotedly acquires.

We build the technique only to ensure that our Muziek can achieve its unforgettable moments, evanescent as they are, before once more returning to its prison of impatient silence.

The most profoundly inspiring performances of a lifetime were those where the performer's technique was so superb that we forgot it existed. Muziek spoke its own language in its own way, uninfluenced by human dignity.
