Night Concert by Orest Smovzh & Antonii - Transfer in Amsterdam

What do you do when a friend, the fantastic Ukrainian violinist Orest Smovzh, has a transfer of several hours in Amsterdam, between Berlin and Helsinki? Splendor musician/pianist Antonii Baryshevsky invited him to Splendor for a concert in the middle of the night (from 26 to 27 February). To make the unusual time even more tangible, no fewer than 50 contemporary violin pieces by 40 different composers will be played.

Condensed music

Strongly inspired by the punk movement of the 1980s, Orest calls this 'condensed music': extra short works that do not develop further and that form short-lived, intense moments without pause or breathing space. Antonii takes over the stage with solo piano improvisations, and gradually, the sense of time and space is completely erased with *Two6*, a work for violin and piano by John Cage. A unique opportunity for a time-expanding experience at half past two in the morning!
