How are you and the Kalaidos University of Music doing after this year?

I am doing very well, as I have never come into direct contact with corona. As far as the university is concerned, there were some projects in 2020 that unfortunately couldn't take place because of coronavirus. We now hope that these are only postponed
and not canceled.

What do you find particularly poignant about the corona period? Can you tell us the most striking or surprising experience?

No, there was no negative experience that stood out so strongly among the others in this negative situation.

How do you think the corona period is changing the music profession and your university?

I am convinced that nothing will be exactly the same again once this pandemic is over. It doesn't help to moan about it and we should make the best of it. For me, the best means returning to music with a physical presence wherever possible, be it in concerts or in lessons. Where this is not possible, we should examine what is good and consciously use the tools we need. At the moment, I have the impression that everyone is experimenting with Skype, Whatsapp, Zoom, Appassimo and whatever else is out there. A study should be carried out that clearly describes the suitability for our purposes - i.e. the communication of music. I brought this idea to both the KMHS and the Kalaidos FH.

What question would you like to ask the Federal Council or what would you like them to do to revive the music scene?

Help.
