“Working with Bill Murray taught me that classical music doesn’t need an explanation.”
This episode introduces you to Jan Vogler, distinguished cellist and Europe's most innovative Festspiel Intendant. Irrepressibly optimistic, Jan explains how his upbringing in communist Germany fostered a deep understanding of freedom and how legendary cellist Heinrich Schiff taught him to be freely himself. In Jan’s musical universe, Schumann on gut strings hobnobs with Sting, and his cello is seated next to Bill Murray, which leads to a very eccentric collaboration between two like-minded free spirits.
