Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (PA’dam)

What feels closer than the sound and expression of the human voice?

PA’dam has a long tradition of performing pieces that were not originally intended for choir. Now it’s time for Simeon Ten Holt’s masterpiece: Canto Ostinato!

The minimal changes in the patterns of this music create a sense of endlessness, which is enhanced by the long lines and continuous sounds of the singers. The music shifts so slowly that changes are sometimes barely perceptible. These minimal musical shifts take shape in the choreography of the singers.
