Biography
Sergej Remitz is a russian pianist, composer, improvisation artist and teacher. He received his musical education in Smolensk, Moscow (Russia) and Freiburg (Germany) and has many years of stage experience as a solo pianist, chamber musician and accompanist throughout Europe.
For the last 15 years Sergej Remitz has devoted himself mainly to the activity of music teacher. As a teacher and mentor he has already inspired several young talents to their musical treadmill. He has worked a lot with the orchestra musicians and as an orchestra leader for the young musicians he has created several Europe-wide music projects (such as the project "Liberteum" in 2018 in Prague).
As an artist and as a music philosopher, Sergej Remitz is very closely involved with the subject of improvisation, which has become his "life's work" for the last few years. Especially in the last turbulent time it has become clear and obvious what an important and significant role the improvisational confrontation with the ever changing and fluid reality has become for every single human being. This construct he also clarifies in his musical works.
About the music
The compositions of Sergej Remitz combine classical instrumental compositional techniques and experimental improvisational approaches. For example, in the composition series "Cyclus" he works with cyclic, interlocking and recurring elements. Here the feeling of being "here, in the moment" is decisive. The musical line does not pursue the goal "to develop" or "to reach the goal", but deals with itself in this single moment. Thus the music remains unpredictable in its inner fluidity. The uniqueness of the single moment — is the leitmotif of the music of Sergej Remitz.
