Song of the Earth
Stargaze + Dirty Projectors
What connects Mahler and The Beach Boys? Contemporary ensemble Stargaze and American band Dirty Projectors answer that question with Song of the Earth. This kaleidoscopic song cycle reflects on the cyclical nature of life and death. Composer and Dirty Projectors leader David Longstreth drew inspiration from Mahler’s classic Das Lied von der Erde and Brian Wilson’s ingenious Beach Boys songs.
Bachfestival Antwerp
Mallet Collective Sextet
In this program for six marimbas, Johann Sebastian Bach is joined by three contemporary composers. In addition to the double concerto for harpsichord, the percussionists of the Mallet Collective play new work by Greg Saunier and
Componist des Vaderlands Anne- Maartje Lemereis. Counterpoint celebrates supreme with as many as six percussionists, 24 sticks and 390 keys.
Amore et dolore
Suspirium ensemble
In our Italian baroque programme, we alternate swinging love songs with cantatas by for example Scarlatti or Porpora. Songs for only voice and lute by Caccini are mixed with grooving songs by Frescobaldi and Sances – all about love and its struggles, of course. They are built around a longer cantata (15’00) by Scarlatti or Porpora, in which affects of love, love sickness or jealousy are central. All Italian temperament!
Bach & Views from Dutch trains
Mallet Collective Duo
Georgi Tsenov & Ramon Lormans will perform two programs coming season as Mallet Collective Duo.
In ‘Views from Dutch trains’ they bring newly written Dutch pieces together with their own arrangements and marimba duo classics.
And in December they will perform two Concerto’s for Harpsichord with Collegium Instrumentale Saarbrücken conducted by Christian von Blohn in Saarbrücken with Ramon’s own adaptation from Bach’s harpsichord concerto BWV. 1055 and 1052.
