Konrad von Abel In order to create the conditions needed to the realization of his artistic approach, Konrad von Abel formed L'Académie Internationale de Musique/ Association Musique & Phénoménologie (formerly Association Celibidache), and in 1999 he founded the Orchestre des Régions Européennes, tied to this institution organizing tours in Mexico and Europe. He is chief conductor of the MonteverdiChor München, highly qualified chamber choir. In July 2012 for the 100th birthday of Sergiu Celibidache he conducts the f minor Mass from Bruckner. On this occasion he founds the Neue Internationale Philharmonie, which plays in November 2013 in Munich with the Mozart Requiem and Dona nobis pacem of Vasks, and again in November 2014 with the Fauré Requiem, Brahms Schicksalslied and Tragic Ouverture. A part of his activities is dedicated to seminars on musical phenomenology, chamber music masterclasses, and conducting workshops all throughout Europe. His masterclasses for orchestral and choir conducting in France, Germany, Spain and Romania, are visited by students from all over the world.

Konrad von Abel’s teaching focuses on the music phenomenology developed by Sergiu Celibidache. It aims at helping each musician to establish a direct contact with music through the observation and free listening of sound phenomena unhampered by conceptions and conventions. Classes consist of theoretical discussions in the morning and musical practice in the afternoon. Besides the chamber music lessons the following questions will be examined together: How is caused the musical tension in one parameter ? (for example : metric, melodic, harmonic) ? How is caused the musical tension between different parameters ? Give several examples for each of these questions.
