Brokken Festival: High Dive | Toon Tellegen & het Wisselend Toonkwintet
The very last edition of the Brokken Festival will last a whole weekend! The Sunday afternoon features Toon Tellegen & Het Wisselend Toonkwintet, High Dive and Vox Sturnus. Het Wisselend Toonkwintet is the result of the many literary concerts Corrie van Binsbergen has organized with renowned writers and poets. In this formation, writer Toon Tellegen will recite from his well-known animal stories.
High Dive is a quest for the childlike playfulness and imagination that seems to disappear when we get older. Expect colorful, psychedelic playing by illustrious Dutch pop en jazz performers. The young ensemble is the outcome of a commission granted to horn player Morris Kliphuis, by the November Music festival. High Dive will now present a fully-fledged album.
There is also a short concert of Vox Sturnus, invited by Jasja Offermands who will take over the symbolic ‘Brokkenstokje’ after this edition. This acoustic ensemble is an eclectic mix of folk, jazz and pop, in which the voice is the center of attention.
Guitarist Corrie van Binsbergen curates and hosts the annual Brokken Festival for open-minded audiences. A festival that opens ears and broadens horizons. It stands out for its great variety of styles, genres and age groups. Jazz, pop and classical encounter one another. Young talents and remarkable outsiders share the stage with established musicians, alternating hyper-energy with stillness and beauty. ‘An explorative feast’, says Van Binsbergen.
‘The Brokken Festival lets you look beyond your own preferences’ (het Parool).
