Availability of docents depends on number of workshop participants (4 participants per docent are needed), but all instruments will be taught by the docents which are available per workshop even if less than 4 participants have booked one instrument/vocal class.
Karoline Weidt
Karoline Weidt begeistert mit ihrer Musik das nationale- und internationale Jazzpublikum. Ihre Musik zeichnet sich durch eingängige Melodien, ausgefeilte Arrangements und Liebe zum Detail aus. Während ihre sphärischen Vokalisen vor Leichtigkeit schweben, steht Karoline Weidt mit ihrer natürlichen Präsenz im Zentrum des Sounds. Sie wurde im Jahr 2023 mit dem BMW Young Artist Jazz Award der Landeshauptstadt München und der BMW Group ausgezeichnet und auch ihr im Jahre 2020 gegründetes Karoline Weidt Quartett ist bereits preisgekrönt. Im Mai 2023 setzt Karoline Weidt mit ihrem Debüt-Album „Inviting“ (Double Moon Records/ Jazzthing Next Generation) das nächste starke Statement: Mit jazzig-eingängigen Kompositionen, ihrer glasklaren Stimme, spektakulären Kostümen, Gaststars an Vibraphon und Trompete und besonders viel persönlicher Note. “Karoline Weidt gehört aktuell sicher zu den vielversprechendsten Sängerinnen“ (Oliver Hochkeppel, Süddeutsche Zeitung).
