In Exile Collegium Vocale Gent + Het Collectief

At the moment, a reception crisis in Europe is tearing entire tribes apart. But migration is of all times and refugees are everywhere. In this programme, Collegium Vocale Gent and Het Collectief, led by James Wood, show what the cultural consequences are of exile, voluntary or not. Great composers emigrated to the United States between the two world wars and gave new meaning to folk music, new music and resounding nostalgia.

Restaurant Cancún Amsterdam

Jazzy Dinner with Ruben Drenthe, Angie Mavis & Lydia Lyon

Enjoy a night full of smooth jazz and delicious dining at Restaurant Cancùn.

Fiery Virginalists Skip Sempé

It was a colourful and colourful world, that of the English virginalists between 1550 and 1650. From the simplest melodies to flamboyant displays, from dance music to the magic of the polyphonic Renaissance tradition. The adventurous American harpsichordist Skip Sempé plays the music of William Byrd, Orlando di Lasso, Henry Purcell and all the others as if he were made for it.

Felicity Provan Quartet

Felicity Provan plays cornet and sings in her current quartet, giving much freedom to the voices and instruments of the other members. The focus is on the interplay and alternation of voice and instrument. Poetic stories and songs, lyrical melodies and catchy grooves are thus given new forms time and again, from delicate and sensitive to wild and tempestuous.

BvR Flamenco Bigband 10 Years

The Spanish-Dutch saxophonist Bernard van Rossum has been leading his BvR Flamenco Big Band for 10 years now: an extra-large big band around a flamenco core and therefore a unique phenomenon. In his compositions, Van Rossum sheds new light on flamenco rhythms and harmonies through colorful orchestrations and the large dynamic range of the big band. It earned him the prestigious Rogier van Otterloo Award.

Black Art Jazz Collective

The Black Art Jazz Collective was co-founded by trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, drummer Johnathan Blake and saxophonist Wayne Escoffery; American jazz musicians who currently belong to the worldwide jazz top. The band members celebrate jazz as an original American art form. In their own compositions, they honour icons from African-American culture, including WEB Dubois, Sojourner Truth and Barack Obama.

Arturo O’Farrill Quintet

Whether he plays in a small or large line-up, Arturo O'Farrill's music always sounds orchestral. It will be the influence of the Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, which he took over from his father, Chico O'Farrill. Renamed the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, it developed its own genre that connects styles and traditions from all over the world. Arturo also has the same mission with his quintet, which will perform on our stage.

Public Rehearsal

With Helmut Lachenmann, Mark Simpson, Jean-Guihen Queyras + Pierre-Laurent Aimard. The music of German composer Helmut Lachenmann is central to the evening concert in the Thursday evening series on February 20. Experimental and mysterious music by a true sound magician. Get to know this special sound world during the open rehearsal. In addition to their solo pieces, clarinetist Mark Simpson, cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras and pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard rehearse the central work of the evening, Allegro Sostenuto, together.

Trombone Double Bill Kevin Toksöz Fairbairn + Dalton Harris

Discover the versatility of the trombone in this double bill from Nieuwe Noten Amsterdam. Trombonist Dalton Harris performs internationally, playing modern and historical instruments, and has premiered more than 50 works by contemporary composers. He works closely with Argentinian-Dutch composer Cecilia Arditto, whose music he will perform during this concert.

Groove Beest: Bayou Bayou

In the family concert series Groove Beest you will discover why some music makes you want to tap your foot to the beat or jump up and start dancing. You will feel the groove with MC Cheyenne Toney and the band members. Sitting still is not an option, so jump, dance, clap, and unleash your inner beast. Sing and swing along in BIMHUIS on 28 January!

Polyphony for 3 Phantasm

A little experimentation, a little out of step: it is timeless. And that is what makes music so lively. The 3 gentlemen of Phantasm come up with a pretty daring program. Because even in 16th century England you had musical adventurers: from Tye to Purcell, from Tomkins to Gibbons. On this program also a lot of William Byrd, not for nothing 'the Father of English Music'.

Schönberg, Berg & Knussen Asko|Schönberg, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Joseph Puglia + Katrien Baerts

Who's afraid of Arnold Schönberg? His popular Kammersinfonie no. 1 is an early masterpiece that is still audibly rooted in the 19th century, although its tonality is creaking here and there. Asko|Schönberg honours its namesake tonight with a programme in which superior instrumentation is the common denominator. Hear how Schönberg's refined art is emulated by his pupil Alban Berg and by Oliver Knussen (1952 - 2018), a dear friend of Asko|Sch����nberg and the Muziekgebouw.

Coal Harbour - Kafkaësk

June 2024 will mark the 100th anniversary of the death of writer Franz Kafka at a young age. In Kafkaesque style, the Rotterdam band Coal Harbor takes its literature as a source of inspiration for new music.

Linda May Han Oh Quartet

Renowned bassist Linda May Han Oh from New York presents compositions from her album The Glass Hours in BIMHUIS on 24 April.

REFLEX: Marta Warelis ft. Ben LaMar Gay, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten & Frank Rosaly

It is a new ensemble with six prominent European and US improv musicians.

Sons of Chipotle

Sons of Chipotle is what happens when two free spirits join forces for an unbridled sonic expedition. Star cellist Anssi Karttunen and all-rounder John Paul Jones are giants in their own domain. Armed with electronics, piano and cello, they are excited to make their Dutch debut at the Kaija Saariaho Festival. Jones and Karttunen were both good friends with Kaija Saariaho and it comes as no surprise that she was a big fan of the duo. Karttunen has been involved with all of Saariaho’s cello works since they both moved to Paris in the eighties.
