BIMHUIS TV Presents : Spring Streams Livestream Festival – DAY 2

Für alle, die etwas Positives brauchen und bereit sind, den Frühling zu feiern. Mit „Spring Streams“ haben wir das Richtige für Sie. Für zwei Nächte formieren sich 24 Musiker zu außergewöhnlichen Duos, um den Frühling unter dem Motto The Rite of Spring mit 30-minütigen Performances zu feiern.

Moderiert von Koen Schouten treten in der zweiten Nacht die folgenden Duos auf:

Oene van Geel: Viola | Albert van Veenendaal: piano

Pianist Albert van Veenendaal and viola player Oene van Geel have known each other for decades. This started when Oene was in his teens and started visiting Albert for piano lessons.

Later on they regularly came across each other while playing in various formations, and sharing a sense of discovery, openness and communication. As a duo they focus on original compositions and imaginative improvisations.
