As part of its 40th anniversary the Bimhuis gives carte blanche to ICP Orchestra’s sax player Tobias Delius, in an adventurous exchange between musicians from Berlin and Amsterdam, featuring the promising drummer Christian Lillinger.

Tenor sax and clarinet player Tobias Delius gets carte blanche at the Bimhuis. 25 years ago he moved to Amsterdam, putting his stamp on the local improv scene as a member of ICP Orchestra. With his own bands he has also performed regularly at the Bimhuis.

Around 5 years ago Delius moved from Amsterdam to Berlin. His carte blanche is informed by his Berlin experiences. The first band is a trio with double bassist Wilbert de Joode and trumpet player Lizz Allbee. Allbee is a Berlin based experimental sound artist who will make her Bimhuis debut.

After the break Christian Lillingers Grund will take the stage. The adventurous, super energetic drummer Lilliger (1984) is a fixture on the Berlin jazz scene. His septet features pianist Achim kaufmann, another Berlin musician with several links to the Amsterdam scene.

The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
