Amsterdam Sinfonietta and Nils Mönkemeyer - Living room

The living room: a familiar place that radiates warmth, a place where people come together, inspire each other and can recharge. In his work Living Room Music, composer John Cage instructed the musicians to use domestic objects and architectural elements as instruments. Magazines, cardboard, books, the floor, the wooden frame of a window… The stage becomes a living room.

The stage as a living room

In the middle of the living room, a cellist and a violist play Janusgesicht by German composer Matthias Pintscher back to back. Janus' head has two faces, a symbol of ambivalence and contradiction. Contemporary music alternates with masterful baroque concerts with violist Nils Mönkemeyer.

This concert will be broadcast later by the NTR on NPO Klassiek
