WERNER  ELMKER

In performance of classical as well as original music,

Danish concert pianist and composer Werner Elmker

emphasizes the importance of improvisation as the main source of all great music.

Improvised music is 'fresh'  music created in the moment,

and often gives a stronger experience than music notated on paper.

Most of the great composers used improvisation during recitals and composing.

Like the classical masters, Mr. Elmker improvises in his own tonal language

which finds its origin in previous styles of classical music.

He utilizes free improvisation, improvisation on original melodies,

classical themes, folksongs, and film music.

Through performances, CDs, radio programs and education,

he seeks to reinvigorate the lost art of classical improvisation.

Audience Experiences

"This music has a distinct healing dimension, reaching into the depths of the heart,
soothing pain, bringing peace to the mind and balance to the physiology."

"From the very first notes, my awareness began to settle into my heart and from there to greater and greater depths of silence. The effect was immediate and powerful and the inward pull clear and irresistable."
