Accordionists Perform with Painter Concert – Netherlandsby Christine Johnstone |
Accordionists Ilse Kok, Lieke Op't Roodt and Jef De Haes will perform “Composition No. 8” with painter Ildikó Snijders at the warehouse of Verffabriek OAF Holland in Olst, Overijssel, Netherlands on June 23rd at 8pm. They will be joined by Firiël Werners (flute), Silvan van den Boom (saxophone), Gemma Smit (cello) and Helmer Bijl (percussion). The eight musicians “will search for similarities and differences between their music and 'Composition No. 2', a painting by the Russian-French painter Wassily Kandinsky, through impressions, improvisations and compositions”. “This Russian-French painter has written a lot about the similarities and differences between music and painting. Composition No. 8 continues this quest. Where painters use paint to give color to the world, musicians do so through timbres”. |
