Toonzetters
Primo Ish-Hurwitz/Jos van Kan
What do today’s twenty-somethings sound like? Toonzetters brings together the works of twenty young Dutch composers, a kaleidoscope of musical styles and characters, ranging from neo-romantic melodies to jazz, electronica and indie rock, from minimalist to maximalist rhythms, for over an hour, providing a vivid portrait of contemporary music. Four exceptionally talented young musicians, under the conducting of Jos van Kan, bring these compositions to life, while hypnotic visual material by Bowie Verschuuren swirl around the back of the stage, offering an all-encompassing experience, to be listened to and observed.
