Pianist Michiel Braam spurs on the thirteen members of his Bik Bent Braam to turn his music inside out, change the tempo and atmosphere and continually give it an unexpected twist. In order to push them to the limits during this bi-monthly concert series, every set will only consist of a single composition from the rich and varied Bik Bent Braam repertoire. So two KompoSetsies per evening. KompoSetsie 5 and 6 consists of two brand new ‘relay works’, in which the orchestra rapidly switches among several different possible options.
In this series Bik Bent Braam introduces young improvisers who contribute to the sound of the band. This month Yonga Sun plays drums and Bart Maris joins the group on trumpet.
