The Scroll Ensemble Classical Music Improvisation

The Scroll Ensemble brings to live the music of the past by improvising in the foot steps of our heroes, like Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. These masters now known for their amazing written works, were famous in their time for their amazing ability to 'extemporise', to make up music on the spot. Our channel brings together our own recordings and ideas as well as resources from all over Youtube to provide for anyone an immersing experience of improvisation in classical music.
