Simeon Ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Van Veen)
Museum Beelden aan Zee in The Hague offers a unique Ligconcert® venue nestled between art and the sea. This remarkable exhibition space combines modern architecture with intimate acoustics, perfect for an attentive listening experience. During a Ligconcert®, music sounds surprisingly warm among the sculptures, while the view of the North Sea adds an extra dimension. An ideal place to connect art and sound, within walking distance of Scheveningen’s lively boulevard.
Experiencing this full-length Canto Ostinato while lying down inspired Carice van Houten to write the column “Train Journey on a Yoga Mat” in Nieuwe Revu: “They say you experience it like a train journey, crossing multiple landscapes… And there I lay… After a few minutes, I opened my eyes and looked around. It was such a sweet image, all those adults, quietly, with smiles on their lips and not quite with their thumbs in them, yet on an adventure. Ninety minutes later, I stepped off the train. Overjoyed.”
