Carnival in Basel/Kevin Klapka about the Fasnacht tradition

🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭Today we talk about one the most famous traditions of Switzerland, especially popular in Basel and its music. The Carnival in Basel is part of the city’s identity – culturally speaking, it is at the heart of its creative energies and represents three days when the city goes wild. Owing to its uniqueness and quality, the largest carnival of Switzerland has been added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.  https://www.basel.com/en/events/carnival Our guest is Kevin Klapka. The Basel piccolo was Kevin's first instrument and has remained the most favourite to this day. https://www.musik.bs/articles/kevin-klapka-instrumentenbauer-spitzenpfeifer/ Discover more video material on our Telegram channel, Instagram, Facebook etc. https://insightreadingenlightenment.carrd.co Email us if you would like to support us insightreading.enlightenment@gmail.com Darina and Sebastien #insightreadingenlightenment #earlymusicpodcastinsightreadingenlightenment #basel #switzerland #fasnacht #baselpiccolo #traverso #transverseflute #carnival #flute #swisspodcast #baroque #kevinklapka #podcast #earlymusicpodcast #romanticmusic #darinaablogina #sebastienmitra #darinaabloginapodcast 

Om Podcasten

Hello dear friends! Welcome to our brand new podcast dedicated to sight-reading. Why sight-reading? We want to show the behind-the-scenes of music-making. We begin each episode with our initial thoughts on a new score as well as musings about style, aesthetics, and instruments. We challenge ourselves to apply our understanding of historical practices to achieve a more musical reading of a given text. Whether you are amateur musicians looking for tips on sight-reading and insight into historical performance or a seasoned musician, we would be happy if you joined us.
