Akoestiekfeest!

My notes are carried forward54 musicians, 36 instruments, one hall...“At last, my notes have the wind at their back!”From the very first days of Splendor, the acoustics of the Great Hall have been a matter of debate. After years of conversations about everyone’s acoustic wishes, reverb measurements, calculations, and a summer of hard work, the moment has finally come: we have a new acoustic! And we’re incredibly proud of it!With poplar wood on the ceiling and curtains along the walls, we can now tailor the acoustics to everyone’s needs and desires.Come join us to listen to, and celebrate our new acoustics! This evening, a fine selection of Splendor musicians will perform acoustically, amplified, loud, and soft — showcasing all the new possibilities. And of course, we’re very curious to hear what you think as well.On the program:Whisper-soft duos by Berio, the jackhammer rumba, a classical piano quartet, Transformation by Thomas Myrmel, and much more.With:Michiel Weidner, celloMartin Fondse, pianoHeleen Hulst, violinThomas Myrmel, trombone & elektronicsTies Mellema, saxofoon & elektronicsEmi Ohi Resnick, violinMaarten Ornstein, bass clarinetFrancien Schatborn, violaMattijs van de Woerd, voice
