African r
hythms, American bluegrass, a speaking native American, it is all to be found in this concert of contemporary works with one common attribute; the traditional- or ethnic music as a source of inspiration.
The used instruments vary from vihuela to steel-string guitar! This concert has everything to do with the theme of 2010: mixed blood. We look into meetings between cultures, and what emerges from those encounters. In history, many great examples can be found: Blues, Jazz and Flamenco are all results of such "mixed marriages", and always more than just a cross-over!
With a.o..Wiek Hijmans (steel-string guitar), Alfonso Marin (vihuela), Annette Kruisbrink guitar), Florian Moritz (guitar) en chamber-orchestra conducted by Peter Biloen!
Works by a.o. Leo Brouwer (Dutch première!), Giel Vleggaar, Annette Kruisbrink.
