PRESENTATION CONCERT OF THE BIMHUIS WORKSHOP IMPROVISATION

led by Arnold Dooyeweerd

Ever since the opening of the (old) Bimhuis in 1974, master bass player Arnold Dooyeweerd has been leading the Workshop Improvisation. A number of musicians, in various combinations, who participated in previous years will have ‘carte blanche’. Dooyeweerd: ‘After 30 years it might be interesting to hear the results of the workshop. Many workshop players are well known musicians by now but I prefer to have the performance done by people that gained from the insights that they found on those evenings in recent years. The musicians will go on a musical adventure without a road map. But what to put in your suitcase? This is the basic subject of the workshop that I have had the pleasure of leading for such a long time now!’
