Maxim Shalygin: Angel

The brand new work by Wim Henderickx is now embedded in a special concert program by LUDWIG and Vincent van Amsterdam with work by this Flemish composer who died far too early. 

In addition, the atmospheric work Angel by the Dutch-Ukrainian composer Maxim Shalygin and new work by the young Flemish composer Benjamin Windelinckx will be played. 

Van Amsterdam is a true pioneer on the accordion. He arranged and played Bach’s Goldberg Variations on his favorite instrument. Composers such as Daan Manneke, Aart Strootman, Christiaan Richter and Maxim Shalygin wrote special work for him. The Grammy-award winning orchestra LUDWIG has already worked with soprano Barbara Hannigan, among others. During this concert, they can be heard in a line-up with only strings.

Maxim Shalygin

"Creativity is an unconscious act of insanity, in a burst of which the truth is born. No matter how beautiful or disgusting it may seem to people far from madness, its value is beyond doubt, both for the author and for those able to sense its invisible beauty. After all, gratitude for endless trials and suffering brings joy and blissful emptiness… Being shocked by music is about pain turning into beauty and getting under your skin, taking away your breath; about everything stopping to move. I want to be scratched inside by sound and experience the fleeting, invisible beauty." - Maxim Shalygin

His compositions include chamber, vocal, symphonic, electro-acoustic music, as well as music for theater, ballet and film. Shalygin has participated in many competitions internationally. He received a honorable mention at the Gaudeamus competition 2012 for his work “Letters to Anna” symphony for violin solo. The same year his music was selected for Gesamt project of Lars von Trier. Shalygin was a composer-in-residence in IZOLYATSIA – Platform for Cultural Initiatives (Donetsk, Ukraine) and Storioni Festival (Brabant, Netherlands). Shalygin’s works have been performed in festivals such as: Gaudeamus Muziekweek (Netherlands), Sound Ways (Russia), Musical Youth Tribune (Ukraine), GOGOLFEST (Ukraine), Spring Festival (Netherlands), International Forum of Young Music (Ukraine), Music Premieres of the Season (Ukraine), UNEVEN – mini-festival by Lonneke van Leth (Netherlands).

Composer

Jan-Peter de Graaff

Netherlands, 1992,
"De Graaff is een alleskunner en een echte en helder opflitsende komeet aan het muzikale firmament die aan niemand ongemerkt voorbij kan gaan." - Maarten Brandt, Opus Klassiek
"De Graaff is een tovenaar met orkestkleuren in een taal die weliswaar van nu is, maar harmonisch ook vaak vertrouwd klinkt." - Paul Herruer, Dagblad van het Noorden
"De Graaffs grootste kracht schuilt in een paradox: stilstand die zindert van spanning." - Guido van Oorschot, De Volkskrant 
 
"Zijn muziek is in essentie atonaal, maar doordat ze niet is doodgesystematiseerd en De Graaff in de contouren en het verloop van zijn melodieën nog steeds romantisch durft te zijn, wordt de luisteraar met zachte, maar dwingende hand meegevoerd in het abstracte verhaal dat hij wil vertellen. Een grote troef is hierbij zijn orkestratiekunst. De muziek is kleurrijk, blijft altijd helder en verrassend." - Erik Voermans, Het Parool
 
"Had iemand mij van te voren voorspeld dat in een programma van Bach, Bartók en Jan-Peter de Graaff het stuk van de laatste mij het meest zou boeien, dan had ik dat niet geloofd. - Dingeman van Wijnen, Friesch Dagblad
