He has focused on improvisational vocal art since 2002 and developed the innovative and revolutionary methodology “The Intelligent Choir” with Vocal Painting as one of the headliners. The Intelligent Choir refers to his musical philosophy and concept of training choir conductors to allow and inspire choristers to share responsibility for the musical process.
