Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Wiebe Kaspers)

Nijkleaster organizes a performance of the Canto Ostinato in collaboration with Wiebe Kaspers. The Canto Ostinato was written by the Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt in the 1970s. It is an accessible and almost hypnotic work that transports and surprises the listener for hours. It is also a work in progress: nothing is exactly set in stone. The performers lead each other through the work, with constant eye and ear contact. This time it will be performed by WiebeKaspers on grand piano and Wytske Holtrop on cello. She is currently cellist with the Flanders Symphony Orchestra. This Canto Ostinato is performed on the longest day of the year: a midsummer meditation as a transition from spring to summer.

Jan-Peter de Graaff: Hagar, an opera in 4 scenes

On Thursday, May 15th, the Nederlandse Reisopera presented its upcoming season with a brand new opera.  A bold and creative partnership between composer Jan-Peter de Graaff and librettist Eleanor Barlow, Hagar is a daring, modern and fiercely human reimagining of the ancient tale that explores resilience, scandal, and consequence.

When you think of Indonesia, the spicy scents of the oriental kitchen probably come to mind. But perhaps also wajang puppets, chirping monkeys swinging through the jungle, or a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Or the traditional dances in beautiful clothing.
