KOBRANIE: PROCESSING THE MUSIC

Kobra Band: Esmée Olthuis saxen, Bastiaan Woltjer trombone, Lucas Dols bas, Daan Herweg toetsen, Tessa Zoutendijk viool, Yonga Sun drums, Sanne Mus stem

Kobranie is a different concert experience. The Kobraband, Musicians 3.0 of the Utrechts Conservatorium and 15 youngsters present their story through the Kobra method: signs, rules, texts, gestures and movements are the means to direct the music. Everything takes place in the moment, without prescribed notation. Saxophonist Esmée Olthuis employs a conduction method developed by Butch Morris and John Zorn for structured free improvisation, inviting the audience and two guests (dancer Francisca Rijken and pianist Oscar Jan Hoogland) to realize her vision. A unique experience.

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).
