Xavi Torres & Ben van Gelder

Fri 14 May 2021

Springtime is here with brand new duo collaborations, live and streaming from the BIMHUIS.

The lyrical playing of New York-schooled alto saxophonist Ben van Gelder (1988) has been compared to that of his legendary tutor, Lee Konitz. Painting forms a source of inspiration for his compositions. Pianist Xavi Torres studied classical music and jazz in Barcelona and Amsterdam, and he has won several international awards. His repertory includes Beethoven as well as flamenco.
