Violinist, violist and composer Oene van Geel will receive the VPRO Boy Edgar Prize, the most prestigious Dutch award for jazz and improvised music, at the Bimhuis. Oene van Geel is a musical adventurer, a virtuoso improviser who plays his instrument in many different ways, from bowing and plucking to a percussive approach. With his ‘chamber music sensibility and thorough knowledge of Indian musical principles, hardcore improvisational techniques and the clear language of pop music, Oene van Geel knows how to take jazz to the next level’, says the jury.
For this occasion Oene van Geel has selected a variety of artists who have inspired him during his career, who he has collaborated with and/or who have been part of his bands ZAPP4, Estafest, The Nordanians and OOOO.
The VPRO will broadcast the concert live via Radio 6.
Cafe and box office open at 7PM (restaurant closed).
