Celia Swart: Tij

A Sit Fast concert with the Ensemble Black Pencil in the Amstelkerk.

Unheard of innovation is the explicit motto of Electric Delights, a new programming concept. Black Pencil invited composers to write with complete freedom for its unique instruments: recorder, pan flute, viola, accordion and percussion. The assignment was: go on a quest, experiment and push boundaries to surprise and enchant the audience. The result is Electric Delights. A groundbreaking collection of virtuoso compositions by composers of different generations and nationalities.
