This Saturday, November 14th at 14:00 I will be playing Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag with Ellen Corver, Jasper Grijpink, and Sietse-Jan Weijenberg. The concert is inspired by their exhibit (see photo!) "Kleur Ontkend", which is really worth seeing.

As always the concert is free with entry to the museum and will feature a display of some instruments which we've selected from their huge collection currently in storage. This time is instruments from India and Indonesia.

Special thanks to Dag in de Branding_Festival voor Nieuwe Muziek for their help with organizing this event!‘Kleuren moeten vooral optimaal in dienst staan van expressie’, aldus Henri Matisse. In 1905 maakt de kunstenaar een cruciale ontwikkeling door. In het Zuid-Franse havenplaatsje Collioure schildert hij kleur zoals nooit tevoren. Deze doorbraak komt niet uit de lucht vallen. Conservator Frouke van Dijke schreef er een blog over: www.gemeentemuseum.nl/organisatie/blogs/de-kleuren-van-matisse
Tot en met 3 januari 2016 te zien in de tentoonstelling ‘Kleur ontketend’.

As a violinist I have the very strange and rare privilege of being able to perform both Beethoven's Diabelli variations (...so to speak) and Bach's Goldberg variations in the same year. You can come hear our “Beethoven” (I should really say Hans Zender's creative reworking of the Beethoven) with Asko|Schoenberg and Peter Rundel in one of many locations this week – or listen on the Radio!Volgende week! Alle registers van de #piano gaan open. Met het nieuwe #pianoconcert ‘A Dog’s Life’ van Frederic Rzewski en Hans Zenders bewerking van #Beethovens magistrale pianowerk de Diabelli-variaties naar eigentijdse klanken in een rijke ensemble setting. Met solist Daan Vandewalle en Asko|Schönberg, olv Peter Rundel.

De tijd gaat ‘vingersvlug’ voorbij. Mis ’t niet! Woensdag (4/3) in Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Gent, donderdag (5/3) in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, vrijdag (6/3) in TivoliVredenburg en zondag (8/3) in De Doelen.
