“And thus, the interpretation became a performance of pure bodily mastery. Judith Fliedl and her violin are one.” – mica Austria.
Workshop On Listening, with Judith Fliedl
Music Current Festival
8 April 2026
In this highly engaging and intimate workshop Judith Fliedl leads the audience on a journey through modes of hearing and presence. Listeners will be invited to consider the roles of audience and performer, to engage with direct interaction with the violinist, to observe and reflect on how their own presence and involvement impinges on the performance situation and how a shared collective musical experience emerges.
Listeners will encounter examples from the repertoire and will reflect on their own perception of how their listening is shaped; how space and distance guide their relationship with the performer; how intimacy is perceived; what is the role and responsibility of the listener; and how their own perception of musical experience changes through considered reflection.
Audience interaction is not required, but listeners are invited to contribute to the discursive and evolving performance-listening experience.
This workshop will be of interest to composers, performers, technologists, visual artists, designers and interested concert-goers. Participants are welcome to attend as auditors or as active participants. The software is open source and workshop participants can bring their own laptop with the cross platform, free and open source software Inkscape installed.
