Canto Ostinato Strings Attached (Matangi Quartet)

Just before his death, composer Simeon Ten Holt whispered to the Matangi Quartet that his works could easily be adapted for a string quartet. The Matangis took that hint enthusiastically; they had Marijn van Prooijen make an adaptation of Ten Holt’s most famous work. The quartet is joined on stage by artist Gerard de Bruyne. Together they transform Ten Holt’s notes into an audiovisual painting that constantly takes on different guises. And then, suddenly, everything is gone.

Lucas Wiegerink: opera Bremer Straatmuzikanten

A discarded donkey playing the double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion and a cat singing. Four animals together form a colourful group. In the eyes of the people, the animals are too old or no longer suitable to do their work.
