Music Building on New Notes Amsterdam:
"Away from the big stages, sometimes the most beautiful developments take place, helping to shape the music of the future. The Nieuwe Noten Amsterdam series by bass clarinettist Fie Schouten and composer Aspasia Nasopoulou at the Plein Theatre brings the opportunity to reflect on the present time. Each concert has a different focus. Thus, Nieuwe Noten Amsterdam provides a venue for contemporary chamber music and the series is a laboratory for the sound of today."
