On the opening night, Asko|Schönberg, the Netherlands’ leading ensemble for new music, traditionally plays music by unorthodox minds, who know how to break free from conventions and expectations. They play with our perception of time, challenge us to embrace microtonal intervals and integrate non-musical sounds into their dramaturgy.
Asko|Schönberg plays twice this evening. In this concert, they will play music by jury member for the Gaudeamus Award 2023, Jan van de Putte, with a vocal tribute to Pessoa.
Jan van de Putte’s work was made possible by the support of Fonds Podiumkunsten.
