Welcome

What this group does is completely unique. No one else in “Classical music” dares to undertake the feat of improvising whole concerts as a group! If you like the spirit of jazz, Indian ragas, Arabic taqsim, or if you are simply a fan of wonderfully played Baroque music, they are for you.

Welcome to the website of The Scroll Ensemble. We bring back improvisation to classical music in all its facets: from performing to teaching (amateur to professional), from Medieval to contemporary styles to cross-over, from stylish concert to cross-disciplinary event to street musicians, from two musicians to an entire ensemble with singers and dancers and anything else we haven’t come up with yet…

Find out about our concerts and live workshops(all levels), listen to some of our improvisations, look at some of our programme ideas, find improvisation resources from past and present, from trill to fantasy to free improv, read about us and our ensemble members, improvise with us online, or simply browse and find your own way!
