Ondertussen houdt November Music de moed erin: de directie zet in op live concerten met maximaal dertig man publiek. In een email-update naar pers en publiek uitte ze wel haar zorgen: ‘Het worden enkele spannende dagen. Na de persconferentie van a.s. dinsdag weten we of November Music 2020 definitief door kan gaan.
In 1987, British cello legend Jacqueline Du Pré succumbed to multiple sclerosis, aged 42. Although she had not played concerts for 15 years, a wave of grief washed over the world. In her short career, she had achieved more than many a musician in his or her entire life.
Polish-Dutch Hanna Kulenty (Białystok, 1961) writes music that gets under your skin. Whether it is early works like Fourth Circle for violin and piano (1994), the opera Mother of Black-Winged Dreams about multiple personality syndrome (1995), or more recent compositions like the Viola Concerto (2015) and her Flute Concerto No.3 (2018), irrevocably you are taken on an exhilarating journey with a...
This year, November Music awards 10 commissions to Dutch and two to foreign composers, including a choral work for Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. Traditionally, November Music opens with the Bosch Requiem on Friday 6 November, which of course takes on an extra charge this year. Korean-Dutch composer Seung-Won Oh draws inspiration from the YeonDo death ritual that links Korean funeral traditions with the Catholic faith. After Kate Moore and Calliope Tsoupaki, she is the third female composer of the Bosch Requiem in a row.
With a focus on the Dutch music scene, November Music aims to highlight the vitality and creativity of composers, creators and musicians during this 28th festival edition. Besides many new home-grown works, there are several concerts with leading roles for renowned foreign names. November Music 2020 takes place from 6 to 15 November at various locations in 's-Hertogenbosch with over 80 different concerts....
'Thea, have you heard that new piece yet? It's beautiful!' And there plopped another wetransfer in with a recording by Kate Moore, Pete Harden, Calliope Tsoupaki or any other composer. Frans Curvers was at the front of every (world) premiere. Whether it took place at Paradiso in Amsterdam, De Doelen in Rotterdam, TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht or a backstreet church somewhere....
De Russische Lera Auerbach (1973) schrikt niet terug voor grote uitdagingen. En dat is een understatement. Onlangs nog maakte ze grote indruk met haar cyclus Goetia 72: in umbra lucis. Ze componeerde deze toonzetting van de namen van 72 demonen voor het Nederlands Kamerkoor en het strijkkwartet Quatuor Danel. Tegelijkertijd verscheen een cd met 72 Angels: in splendore lucis, waarin…
We got some confusing messages last weekend. The reason was the festive announcement of the organisation of the Eurovision Song Contest that a special symphonic happening would take place at the finals in Rotterdam. Third year and master students of the Rotterdam Conservatoire, part of Codarts, as well as young professional musicians were invited. A 'fee' would be available for...
Where is the Metropole Orchestra? A unique orchestra, the only one in the world that can pull off the complete repertoire from classical to pop and jazz? The orchestra that used to accompany the Dutch acts at the Song Festival when everything was still live? The orchestra, which as recently as December was on tour with our new Song Contest candidate,...
'When I unexpectedly had to conduct the "Dies Irae" from Verdi's Requiem Verdi, I felt how raw and impactful music could be. I knew immediately: I can no longer run away from music.' Elim Chan is moving like a rocket and will make her debut with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra on 17 January. In 2014, Elim Chan (Hong Kong, 1986) was the first female...
As an intro, the percussionist of orchestra the prize of honour played a cadenza of air beats. When he unexpectedly gave a cutting blow on his snare drum, everyone was startled. Thus, with Bewegung ohne Bewegung for cello and ensemble by Jan van de Putte, opened the anniversary concert of the ensemble founded in 1979 by Wim Boerman. Last year,...
‘Ik teken mijn personages altijd uit voordat ik begin met componeren. Ze zijn geïnspireerd op mensen die ik op straat zie, persoonlijkheden die ik bewonder, details die iemand bijzonder maken… Meestal richt ik me op één specifiek aspect van een personage, een dominante stemming die ik vervolgens in mijn compositie belicht.’ Meriç Artaç, geboren in 1990 in Istanbul, werd al…
It is also never good or bad: the female composer is either ignored or arouses jealousy when her music is performed. For years, I felt my fingers calloused and talked my head off to put women composers on the map. I invariably came up against a wall of...
De Nederlandse componist Jan van de Putte (1959) overschrijdt steevast de grenzen van muziek. Aarzelende aanzetten, stilte, weidse gebaren en verkenningen van ons onderbewustzijn staan net zo vanzelfsprekend in zijn partituur als klinkende tonen. Afgelopen najaar verscheen zijn vierdelige liederencyclus op poëzie van Pessoa, waarin hij de Portugese dichter trefzeker laat stamelen. Op 8 november klinkt zijn nieuwste compositie, Cette…
Because Evening, Anna Enquist's new novel, is a book full of pent-up exasperation and anger. Never before has she written so freely as with this book, without knowing where the story was going. "I would like to be able to be a bit angrier myself." After the poetry collection Hoor de staden and her memories of Gerrit Kouwenaar, A Garden in the...
Johann Sebastian Bach and Kate Moore in one concert programme. With this choice for the fifth episode of her 'Cello 020' series, cellist Lidy Blijdorp once again outdoes herself in originality. And the effect of this choice is phenomenal. Enhanced interaction Not only does she bring together works by two completely different composers, she further enhances the interaction by playing their...
Na het spetterende slot van Ishtar van Dima Orsho staat het publiek als één man op en barst los in een ovationeel applaus. Ik word bijkans verdoofd door het luide gejoel en gejuich waarmee de leden van Hewar en het Gurdjief Ensemble overstelpt worden. Verbijsterd kijk ik om me heen: er zou toch nóg een nummer komen? Maar nee, daar…
Panic. On the tram between Leidseplein and Amsterdam Centraal, I suddenly lost the Dutch translation of 'string quartet'. So I typed 'violin quartet' into my facebook update, trying to make a connection between a blow job and Ligeti. Joking, maybe, but there was something much deeper behind it, in that tram, after the music and theatre event 'The String Quartet's...
Russian-Dutch Maya Fridman (Moscow, 1989) plays classical and contemporary music as well as rock, jazz, folk and flamenco. Communication with the audience is now her main aim. So why limit yourself to a particular style or genre? The Cello Biennale website rightly describes her as a 'musical jack-of-all-trades'. She scored highly in 2016 at this...
Cellist Maya Fridman was born in Moscow in 1989, where she emerged as a child prodigy. Even while still studying at Schnittke College, she won first prize at the International Festival of Slavic Music. In 2010 she came to the Netherlands, where six years later she graduated Cum Laude from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Fridman naturally places contemporary...
Sofia Gubaidoelina has become a true audience favourite in our country. She is also a welcome guest in broadcasting series. The AVROTROS Friday Concert, for instance, brought the Dutch premieres of Glorious Percussion (2011) and O Komm, Heiliger Geist (2016). Friday 23 March will see the first Dutch performance of her Triple Concerto for bayan, violin and cello. The piece is dedicated to...
The greater the resistance to be overcome, the greater the achievement. This wry wisdom is expressed in the Russian narrative concert 'Living under a tyrant'. Cellist Lidy Blijdorp adds another beautiful, personal and original episode to her Cello 020 series with this programme around the life story of composer Shostakovich. She performs in this concert together with...
