Ten years have past since 9/11, but the attacks are still fresh in our memory. They have created a polarisation that is still felt today. In his Nine-Eleven project big band leader Konrad Koselleck unites musical opposites: the American-Dutch soprano Claron McFadden and the Iraq born Osama Abdulrasol, master of the Arabian harp. Yet again the Konrad Koselleck Big Band bridges musical boundaries. ‘Koselleck has a keen sense of atmosphere, he knows when to slow down or fire up the band… the conviction of an ecstatic big band is phenomenal’ (de Volkskrant).
