Nachthexen

Orgelpark, Amsterdam 27 + 28 April 2013

Nachthexen

WWII – op het thuisfront een gebrek aan “mankracht”. Vrouwen krijgen opeens de kans zich te bewegen op gebieden die voorheen het exclusieve domein van mannen waren en ze grijpen de kans met beiden handen aan. Zulke moedige vrouwen vormen de inspiratie voor twee gloednieuwe composities.“Nachthexen” (Huib Emmer) gaat over een groep jonge Russische vrouwelijke piloten die met hun onorthodoxe methodes en vliegtuigen veel schade toebrachten aan de Duitsers. In de VS mochten vrouwen meedoen aan een nationale honkbal competitie: de All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. “Lonely Stats” (Anne La Berge) is geïnspireerd op ene Annabelle Lefty Lee, die een “perfect game” wierp in 1944. Irina Birger licht deze historische gebeurtenissen toe aan de hand van beeld, film en tekst.

Field Of Ears #2

MuzyQ, Amsterdam 23 March 2011 20:30

Field Of Ears #2

The Field Of Ears band was formed in 2009 specifically to blur the lines between classical and improvised music. The musicians are equally at home in a broad range of musics and styles. Typically, a Field Of Ears evening is more of a mini-festival than a concert. Special guests for Field Of Ears #2 include kindred spirits Trio 7090, a group of new music virtuosi that embrace both improvisation and electronics. The program features music by field members Anne La Berge, Huib Emmer and Joost Buis. In true Field Of Ears fashion, each half of the concert opens with a new commissioned silent film. This time video and film mavericks Bas van Koolwijk and Joost van Veen have been asked to conjure up 8mm short films to set the tone of the evening.

Trio 7090

  • Nora Mulder – piano / cymbalom
  • Bas Wiegers – violin
  • Koen Kaptijn – trombone

Field Of Ears Band
