Look out for updates & information. HOUT (Wood) is the title of the 1991 composition of the renowned Dutch composer Louis Andreessen for saxophone, marimba, electric guitar and piano. Inspired by that piece we have build up a project and asked several friends - performers and composers to create music for our duo as a reflection on this composition and title. The result? - a challenging, exciting, flexible program combining strict forms & improvisational freedom. ... Like wood itself: hard and warm simultaneously, robust and flexible, beautiful and transient ... all these opposite but yet attractive qualities that we like to look for while making music. Contradictions as the motor of the unit. As for our guest, Raphael and Ana - we cannot do this program without their dedication, talent and passion for sharing the music we all believe in. And last but not least: we dedicate this program to the celebration and year of the 70th birthday of Louis Andriessen - an inspiration, friend and teacher! concert dates: 13 September 2009 De Toonzaal, Den Bosch, The Netherlands www.detoonzaal.nl 22 September 2009 De Link, Tilburg, The Netherlands www.delink.nl 15 February 2010 Uilenburger Synagogue, Amsterdam, The Netherlands www.leosmit.nl 5 March 2010 Bimhuis, Amsterdam, The Netherlands www.bimhuis.nl 6 March 2010 Hot House, Leiden, The Netherlands www.leidsjazztrio.nl 17 - 21 March 2010 Duo Koleva / van Otterloo - Bulgarian Tour special guests: Raphael Vanoli - electric guitar and Ana Mihajlovic - piano & live dj 17 March 2010 National Palace of Culture, Sofia, Bulgaria www.ndk.bg 19 March 2010 City Art Gallery, Varna, Bulgaria www.varnamuseum.com 21 March 2010 March Music Days, Rousse, Bulgaria www.marchmusicdays.eu 22 April 2010 Provadja, Alkmaar, The Netherlands www.provadja.nl |
