Description

A band is more than the sum of its members—it is a living organism with its own dynamic. In this intensive seminar, Nils Wogram explores the questions that every bandleader faces sooner or later:

• How do I put a band together?
• The band is formed—what’s next?
• Repertoire: What do we play, and who decides?
• Logistics and production
• Psychology within the ensemble
• Money
• Collaborating with labels and agencies
• Production processes: from the initial idea to the finished album

Nils Wogram is one of Europe’s most sought-after trombonists and a professor in Lucerne. With over 30 years of experience working in bands—including with “Root 70”—he brings practical insights that can’t be found in any textbook.
