Three concerts in America
After my visit to China in February, I received another travel grant from the Performing Arts Fund NL. Next week I'm in Pittsburgh to attend the performance of Les Chants d'Estvaux by Piano4te. A week later I'll be in Moscow (Idaho) for two concerts by the sax4tet Bamboo & Brass with Bliss and Rose Road.

From dusk till dark
In the transition from dusk to darkness, pianist/composer Bastiaan Brink will play the piano recital From Dusk till Dark – Reduced Musical Landscapes during five evenings.
From the primal tones of Pärt to the heartbeat of life in Ravel, from the searching movements in the work of Eisenga, Debussy and Ten Holt to the melancholic sounds of Beethoven, from a descent into darkness in Ustvolskaya to the return to the light in Bach.
Pianist and composer Douwe Eisenga creates sparkling music for sparkling minds, a hypnotizing mix of rhythm, haunting melodies, and compelling lyricism. Honest, down to
earth peoples-music. Often subdued and sober with a generous force: the underlying melodies carve themselves into the soul of the listener.
In 2017 he composed the moving For Mattia. Since its release, the composition has consistently ranked high
in the Dutch Classical Top 400.
