Numerous plans had to bite the dust in the past year and a half: grand and modest plans, personal and professional. What remained was reflection and a return to basics. Modelo62 presents new work by two Dutch and two Canadian composers who were originally going to enter into musical dialogue in 2020, but who have now returned to their key strength: writing new and original music.
Composers Aart Strootman, Allison Cameron, Roxanne Nesbitt and Wilbert Bulsink created a brand-new programme, remotely and yet together, in which their separate works merge and refer to each other. From precisely notated music to graphic scores, from traditional instruments to self-built ones, from fragmented pieces to music in which everything is complete: totally diverse, far apart from each other, and yet a whole.
