Brutally Minimalistic

Music, bites and talks

Minimal Music and Insightful Talks ��� a cultural event designed as an end-of-year gift for reflection in a fast-paced consumer culture. This concert provides a moment of reflection on our daily lives before the rush of festive holidays like Thanksgiving, Sinterklaas, and Christmas. By presenting minimal music as a conceptual counterbalance to consumerism, the program encourages reflection amidst today's fast-paced consumer culture, countering the impulsive purchases and overconsumption sparked by events like Black Friday. (See other counter-initiatives such as 'Green Friday')
