New Zealand 2018 Tour

Volsap was awarded a Performing Arts Fund NL travel grant to support Anne La Berge and David Dramm on their concert and lecture tour to Wellington and Auckland, New Zealand in September and October 2018.

They performed two programs in each city. One included works by Sam Pluta, Yannis Kyriakides and Volsap composers David Dramm and Anne La Berge. The other was a set of their duo songs composed in the last thirty-two years where they improvised with local musicians in the second set of the concerts.

They also taught private composition lessons, gave lectures on their work and lead presentation/discussions on Splendor Amsterdam.

Additional funding was granted for the Fermata Lecture and the Lunch Concert by the University of Auckland and the Victoria New Zealand School of Music for participation in the Aotearoa Festival in addition to lectures and teaching.

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.
  • Entry €20,- / €15,- / €12,50
  • Studenten, 65+, stadspas en CJP €12,50 / €9,- / €8,-
