This video shows a compilation of some of our performances that took place in Utrecht (NL) in October 2011.

Simeon ten Holt - Canto Ostinato
A Spiritual Concert: East meets West

The performance of Canto Ostinato is rather a ritual than a concert. It is a composition about time, space and everlasting motion, written by Simeon ten Holt in 1976.

Theatre Company “De Plaats” from Arnhem (Netherlands) has created a music-theatre performance in co-production with Connecting Arts in which a journey of 20.000 miles far away is staged with a light-hearted imagination.

Jean-Philippe Rameau
'Les Sauvages' and other compositions

In his time it was not allowed to play secular music in church, but how great does Rameau´s opera-music sound on organ! Already at the end of the 18th century it was performed on organ in the famous `Concerts Spirituels`, but now Yves Rechsteiner took up this historical idea and arranged a large number of instrumental movements for organ. He published the scores and made a beautiful recording.

Come along on a journey through breathtaking skies and sea views that call up the desire to travel to foreign countries and deserted coasts.

A recent winner of the prestigious Dutch Jazz award, The Boy Edgar Prize, Bert van den Brink is a jazz piano and organ player with a classical background. He adapts the jazzy way of playing to the organ with great feeling for the instrument: not just imitating piano tricks, but using all the organ recourses in a new, often amazing way.
