Subwaves: Connecting Frequencies #11

Subwaves: Connecting Frequencies is back at De Richel and kicking off its 2025-26 season on September 6th!

The eleventh edition of Subwaves features the music of three distinct, uncompromising and genre-defying ensembles: 

Chamber-jazz group The Names, helmed by composer/bassist Koen Nutters, combines finely-wrought counterpoint with drifting, abstract percussive textures.  The group features Germaine Sijstermans on clarinet, Gert-Jan Prins on percussion, Seamus Cater on harmonica, and Marielle Groven on violin.  

Raiga Hayashi, the Japanese Berlin-based percussionist from Kinjo No Tabibito (a trio with Akira Sakata and Toshimaru Nakamura), will perform a set of improvised music with saxophonist Hugo Costa, pianist Inês Lopes and trombonist Salvoandrea Lucifora. 

Karen Ng, the Toronto-based alto saxophonist known for her work with Do Make Say Think and the Weather Station, has assembled a new Amsterdam-based group with pianist Nora Mulder, drummer Tristan Renfrow and bassist Aaron Lumley.
