[NL] Het Ivan Laranjeiro Trio komt naar het Batavierhuis om hun allereerste album te presenteren: A Portrayal of the Latin Guitar. Dit album stelt de Latijns-Amerikaanse gitaar centraal als verbindend element door Afro-Cubaanse en Braziliaanse repertoire te combineren. Om het geluid van de nylonsnarige gitaar te moderniseren, zijn de contrabas van Lautaro Vergara en de drums van Enrico Locci toegevoegd. Dit trio speelt op de grens van genres: de klassieke invloed van de gitaarsolo's en de met strijkstok gespeelde contrabas is hoorbaar. Ook de jazzinvloed van harmonie, improvisatie en thematisch gestructureerde stukken is aanwezig. Tegelijkertijd worden de traditionele ritmes en grooves niet alleen behouden en gerespecteerd, maar vormen ze zelfs het uitgangspunt van het project. Dit trio is een product van de multiculturele Rotterdamse samenleving, die de kans ziet om deze rijke culturele diversiteit door middel van muziek te verenigen.

Bezetting:
Ivan Laranjeiro - Akoestische gitaar
Lautaro Vergara - Contrabas
Enrico Locci - Drums

Pedro Mendes - Piano
Veerle van der Wal - Double Bass
Aviv Maya - Drums

IN THE RING is een experimentele AI-opera-rollenspel, geïnspireerd op Der Ring des Nibelungen van Richard Wagner, dat AI-ethiek en machtsverhoudingen onderzoekt. Het project kijkt naar hoe publieksparticipatie het verhaal, de muziek en de ruimte kan vormen, en stelt daarbij de machtsverhoudingen in technologie ter discussie. Met hun smartphones nemen deelnemers beslissingen die in real-time direct van invloed zijn op het verhaal, het soundscape en de visuele wereld, terwijl een live operazanger het steeds veranderende verhaal brengt. Door abstracte discussies over AI en Big Tech te vertalen naar concrete, voelbare gevolgen, stelt In The Ring het publiek voor een urgente vraag: wie heeft écht de macht in een door technologie gedreven wereld? In deze preview stellen we het concept voor, delen we de belangrijkste vragen die het project voeden, en geven we een korte live demonstratie van het werk, dat volgend jaar in première gaat.

The collaboration draws on Etkin’s Open Arms Project, an album developed through creating music with master musicians around the world—from Zimbabwe to Turkey to the Czech Republic—where each encounter becomes a starting point for co-creation. Bringing that spirit to the stage, the trio weaves together original compositions and improvisations, letting their different musical languages shape a shared, evolving conversation—a rare convergence of distinct voices grounded in listening, trust, and the possibility of something unexpected.

“This is world music in the true sense, not a lazy hybrid but a personal sound born out of deep respect for diverse musical tradition” - Irish Times

De meest magische momenten ontstaan tijdens de spontane interactie op het podium – wanneer creatieve, ruimdenkende muzikanten samenkomen en echt naar elkaar luisteren en hun ervaringen delen. Op 4 juni in Rotterdam wordt klarinettist Oran Etkin uit New York vergezeld door de Braziliaanse multi-instrumentalist Juliano Abramovay (oud, gitaar) en de Nederlandse pianist Rembrandt Frerichs voor een avond die zich in realtime ontvouwt.

De samenwerking is gebaseerd op Etkins Open Arms Project, een album dat tot stand is gekomen door samen muziek te maken met meesterlijke muzikanten over de hele wereld – van Zimbabwe tot Turkije en Tsjechië – waarbij elke ontmoeting een startpunt vormt voor co-creatie. Het trio brengt die geest naar het podium en verweeft originele composities met improvisaties, waarbij hun verschillende muzikale talen een gezamenlijk, evoluerend gesprek vormgeven – een zeldzame samenkomst van onderscheidende stemmen, geworteld in luisteren, vertrouwen en de mogelijkheid van iets onverwachts.

This year’s edition of CHURCH MUSIC is created in collaboration with Klankvorm. Together, they bring forward an evening shaped specifically for the church’s unique acoustic and architectural character. Four artists draw from diverse sonic traditions and experimental approaches, letting their work respond directly to the space itself. From acoustic resonance to sacred aesthetics, every element of the performances is attuned to its surroundings; blurring the lines between the visceral and the transcendental.

De editie van CHURCH MUSIC van dit jaar is tot stand gekomen in samenwerking met Klankvorm. Samen brengen zij een avond die speciaal is afgestemd op het unieke akoestische en architectonische karakter van de kerk. Vier artiesten putten uit uiteenlopende muzikale tradities en experimentele benaderingen, waarbij hun werk rechtstreeks inspeelt op de ruimte zelf. Van akoestische resonantie tot sacrale esthetiek: elk element van de optredens is afgestemd op de omgeving, waardoor de grenzen tussen het zintuiglijke en het transcendentale vervagen.

Puck Wacki is een interdisciplinaire kunstenaar en muzikant gevestigd in Rotterdam, actief in Rotterdam en Den Haag. In haar artistieke praktijk onderzoekt ze hoe mensen zich verhouden tot door mensen ontworpen systemen en machines, inclusief abstracte constructies zoals tijd.
In haar performances ontleedt en manipuleert Wacki machines om hun betekenis te verkennen en te herdefiniëren door ze in nieuwe contexten en functies te plaatsen. Deze performances bevinden zich op het snijvlak van geluidskunst, experimentele muziek en installatiekunst, en onthullen de spanning tussen het technische en het muzikale.

MORE INSIGHTS ABOUT THIS CONCERT:
I am Laia, a Batavier, and the last years I have been researching on how changing the way of playing the viola to get closer to the sound of middle eastern bowed instruments, also observing the relation between Ottoman, Greek and Black Sea melodies with the melodies of the songs I grew up with (Catalaan folk songs) --perhaps, comparing and relating as a way of embodying something new--.

One of the elements that has been captivating me is the power of resonance that strings have and how you can with one instrument play a melody in one string and at the same time accompany it with a drone with the other strings, making the melody and the drone become one.
This feature happens, in fact, in many musical traditions, such as in Scandinavian and in French folk, which I have been listening since very young age and which have, inevitably, also influenced the melodies I have been composing.
There are similarities on how bowed instruments are played in different traditions, and
I could continue talking about this, but I think, better come and listen to the music.

I am very glad to have put together three fantastic greek string players who have been inspiring me and who have made this mixed repertoire become blended in a common sound. Each of these three musicians have their own musical background, which is, actually, also reflected in how the pieces have been arranged, and they are : Yvonni MELISSA from Kavala, Vasilis LEMONIAS from the bay of Volos and Kiriakos MANIAS from the island of Crete.

OMSCHRIJVING TEXT

BABY CONCERTEN - HOE KLINKT INDIA..?! met AURA RASCÓN & SHABBIR HUSSAIN

India is niet alleen een exotisch, ver land ergens in Azië; het is ook een van de oudste culturen ter wereld, een van de pijlers van de beschaving, met een uitbundige geschiedenis en een zeer verfijnde cultuur. India heeft bovendien zijn eigen klassieke muziek, die is onderverdeeld in verschillende genres en stijlen: een fascinerende en rijke muzikale wereld die absoluut de moeite waard is om te ontdekken!

Is er een ideale leeftijd om mensen te introduceren in deze verfijnde, maar misschien ook complexe muzikale traditie? Volgens de Indiase traditie wel: al vanaf de tijd dat baby’s zich nog in de baarmoeder bevinden! Zo vroeg kunnen ze al beginnen met luisteren en genieten van de effecten en invloeden van de complexe vormen van Indiase klassieke muziek, zoals de RAGA (melodische vorm) en TALA (ritmische vorm). Hoe vroeger, hoe beter…

This three-day workshop brings together musicians from diverse genres, instruments and artistic contexts to explore how movement can support playing, rehearsing, composing, creating and performing. Through practical sessions combining multiple approaches to movement and sound, participants will work individually and collectively to deepen sensory awareness, expand attention, and develop greater freedom of expression. The focus is on widening artistic practice — strengthening connection to instrument, body, collaborators, audience and the shared space in which music happens.

For this workshop, Resonanzlehre trainer Yanna Pelser joins forces with the movement coaches from Moving Strings & Play As We Are. These are interconnected artistic and educational initiatives that place body and movement at the center of music-making, rehearsal, and performance. Founded by Maya Felixbrot and developed together with Alex Welch and Alexandra Baybutt, they create experimental spaces for somatic sound practices and interdisciplinary artistic research.
