Pianist Helena Basilova will perform Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato at the Pauluskerk in Baarn. While this iconic work is often performed by multiple pianos, it will be heard this evening in an intimate solo piano version. In this form, the music is given the full space to slowly unfold, drawing the listener into a meditative experience. Expect more than a traditional concert; this is a musical ritual where time blurs and repetition leads to a deeper state of being.

Simeon ten Holt wrote of this piece:

“Repetition aims to create a situation in which the musical object affirms its independence and can search for its most favorable position with respect to the light falling upon it, thereby becoming transparent. Time becomes the space in which the musical object floats.”
