DOUBLE BILL
Concertgebouw Brugge, ‘t Zand 34, 8000 Brugge
A double bill, featuring a Belgian and an Australian ensemble, who bring us contemporary chamber music with a humorous and nonsensical twist in a nonstandard line-up. The chosen works have a clear link with the everyday, with a familiarity that borders on banality. In most cases, they even touch upon the beauty of the commonly overlooked. That unexpected beauty is brought to the fore by a layer of irony or parody. Established names, such as John Zorn, Larry Polansky and Matthew Shlomowitz, and their younger but equally intriguing colleagues, like Simon Steen-Andersen, François Sarhan and Alexander Schubert, sweep the familiar musical ground from under our feet. In short: a unique listening experience, courtesy of the innovative young vanguard of the latest classical music.
