Calefax Rietkwintet (in English: Calefax Reed Quintet)

DoelenEnsemble (Eng: Doelen Ensemble)

DoelenKwartet (Eng: Doelen Quartet)

Just to show that Holland really is where it is happening musically here are details of two concerts that took place there this week. They were sent to me by the irrepressible Vanessa Lann whose string quartet was played alongside Reich, Nancarrow and oh joy! - Perotinus. What a wonderfully imaginative programme, I only wish I could have been there.

za. 18 februari, 20.15, De Doelen, Rotterdam (inleiding om 19.30 uur door Hans Koolmees)

zo. 19 februari, 20.30, Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam

Programma:

Perotinus (1160-1205): Viderunt Omnes (bewerking Hans Koolmees)

Ron Ford (1959): Idee Fixe (premiere) en Arriere-pensee (premiere)

Vanessa Lann (1968): Lullabye For A Young Girl Dreaming

Conlon Nancarrow (1912-1997): Piece nr. 2 for small orchestra
