“Rumah” (meaning Home in Bahasa Indonesia and Malay) - a program of unheard music by classical composers from Singapore and Indonesia, through which we uncover what home means to us.

Upcoming Thursday 7 December 2023 you will be able to listen to our first public concert. 🥳

Toni and Ainhoa met in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam during their master studies in the Creative Performance Lab. They clicked immediately after creating, playing and performing together in the CPL. Since then, they have been investigating the use of the oboe, the voice, the spoken word in Arabic and Spanish with the electronics. The result is the creation of a journey of evoked images and soundscapes inspired by Lebanese and Spanish music. 🎶

They will play an intimate after-concert inspired by the elements of Dadaism and madness in the main concert that night by and .

We hope to see you there!! ♥️

🔜 Thursday 7 December 2023

The first event we contributed to was last week’s farewell evening for Maarten van Boven, the director of the Muziekgebouw. He will become the new director of the Conservatorium in Rotterdam.

Echoes of Nothing is a collaboration between the Muziekgebouw and CvA, which was spearheaded by Maarten himself.

His efforts have empowered the next generation of musicians, giving us the opportunity to enliven the public spaces of this beautiful building with out of the box thinking.

CvA Alumna Vera Morais and her ensemble EUPNEA performed one of Vera’s original compositions ‘mirror error‘.
