Class Visits
Monday, Oct. 21–Friday, Oct. 25

Programming continues in Spring 2025.

Collisione Mondiale is a cooperative project by musicians from Europe, Africa, and the U.S., conceived and directed by former Visiting Cornell Professor Hans Lüdemann (center), a pianist and composer. The project brings together balafon master Aly Keita, drummer Christian Thomé, singer Tamara Lukasheva, bassist Nick Dunston, violinist Mark Feldman, and saxophonist Bobby Zankel. Collisione Mondiale includes the interpretation of excerpts of Lüdemann’s opera; compositions, improvisations, and creative work with the other artists and the students in workshops; and rehearsals and performances involving individual student singers and instrumentalists – both jazz and classical.
