A profound discussion about leaving free space for the audience to co-create and the trust in destiny that sometimes has the power guide our path. Christian and Fabian share openly a story of what it takes to be an artist, how music shapes rooms, what it takes to lead and how to creatively pivot in these unprecedented times to stay relevant while enjoy the intensive family time at home.
Both share the passion to perform on stage but also discovered for themselves the power of sharing their arts in workshops. With Sonic Leadership Christian sets the stage to rethink typical role models and create organisational symphonies.
While the whole industry is waiting for way to go #BackToLive this conversation gives hope and sparks your imagination to stay #coronacreative
