Song of the Earth Stargaze & Dirty Projectors
What connects Mahler with The Beach Boys? Contemporary ensemble Stargaze and the American band Dirty Projectors answer that question with Song of the Earth. This kaleidoscopic song cycle reflects the cyclical nature of life and death. Composer and Dirty Projectors leader David Longstreth drew inspiration from Mahler's classic Das Lied von der Erde and Brian Wilson's ingenious Beach Boys pop songs. Curious? Come and listen in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.
Song of the Earth Stargaze & Dirty Projectors
Quirky song cycle unites classical music and indie rock
Dirty Projectors’ unique blend of dazzling, unconventional guitar work and layered vocal harmonies has kept the band on the indie rock map for the past 20 years. They have collaborated with stars such as Solange, Björk, and David Byrne. Dirty Projectors is now teaming up with Stargaze, an ensemble that has previously wowed the Muziekgebouw with ground-breaking collaborations with musicians like Terry Riley, Mica Levi, and Lee Ranaldo.
