Renewed collaboration with TivoliVredenburg
The Concertzender (big brother of World of Jazz) and TivoliVredenburg have been working together for decades. Since January 30, there has been the new platform 'World of Jazz' (WoJ), where 'jazz & more' in all its facets can be found 24 hours a day. The possibilities of this new platform have prompted the two parties to intensify their collaboration. At the initiative of TivoliVredenburg, the programs Jazzkotabel and Dutch Jazz have been revived. |

Theme: George Benjamin
Benjamin himself has long been one of the most appealing voices in the world of modern music. His second opera Written on Skin (2012) was so successful, with over a hundred performances in the first few years after its premiere, that critics made comparisons with Alban Berg’s Wozzeck. That is why Theme will include pieces from Written on Skin. The first piece he wrote when he emerged from Messiaen’s wings at the age of 22 (At First Light) will also be performed. He will also conduct works that are stylistically close to him (Ligeti and Murail). Of course, music by Messiaen will also be included (Les offrandes oubliées). Follow the link below to see the full playlist. Listen: Theme, Wednesday October 9th, 20:00 - 22:00 CET. |

Festival Dag in de Branding (Day in the Surf)During edition 71 of the Festival Dag in de Branding, a lot of saxophones can be heard on October 19th. This is thanks to composer Jan-Peter de Graaff, who co-curated the festival as guest curator. In addition to the saxophone, this edition has another common thread. The festival programme is put together around the theme 'between the city and the sea' - very appropriate for the coastal city of The Hague, where De Graaff studied at the conservatory.
