Open Masterclass Instant Composition
This presentation is the culmination of several sessions with the voice students of Conservatory of Amsterdam, exploring different forms of improvisation, from free to stricter musical styes, with or without words. We will also delve into the most challenging and relevant form for singers: instantly composing their own songs with texts.
Join us for this final exploration of improvisation, including an "a la minute" mini-opera.
Claron McFadden will a start the evening with a small solo set.
And of course, we'll open it up to anyone who wants to try after.

Member concert/Splendor Special
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to over 50 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?
The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
Would you rather just visit this concert without becoming a member? You're more than welcome! Buy your ticket(s) below.
