AGENDA

SPACES   Joep Verheijen presents SPACES.  A film exploring atmosphere through music and architecture, premiered on June 25th at Focus film theatre in Arnhem.   In SPACES monumental buildings are accompanied by an impressive musical score to properly capture the essence of their atmospheres.    Joep Verheijen is a Dutch composer with a focus in composition for orchestral music and music for various ensembles. His style combines influences from baroque to contemporary classical music with influences from film music.   He creates atmospheres through music by exploring the depth and richness of color of musical instruments, always pushing the limits to find the most powerful way to tell a story.  In SPACES Joep captures the atmospheres of exceptional architecture like Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum and the Wassenhove Villa near Ghent. Through music, Joep transports the audience into these buildings, letting them experience their atmospheres  the way he experienced them and opening them up to an entirely new way of looking at architecture.   Through a variety of instruments, ranging from full orchestra, to the Matangi string quartet, and the Walcker organ in Doesburg, Joep portrays the atmospheres of these buildings with much detail and the depth that can be found in the versatility of these ensembles and instruments.   Four buildings are the subject of this project. These buildings are all vastly different but also share similar aspects. Their atmospheres are comparable yet completely different. This contrast is showcased both through image and music, through which Joep reflects his subjective experience of each of the atmospheres onto the audience, passing through the spaces the way he sensed them.

Footsteps. Effie Anna, a natural-born storyteller, will guide you through the uncertainty of the moment. You will follow her footsteps and she will trace around yours. Like a ray of sunshine, bringing warmth against your skin, the gentle touch of affection when someone you love holds your hand, let music take you through a collection of stories: intimate, yet strong; hesitant, yet undoubtful. Along with her, on this venture, will be people she met, loved and connected with musically. Each of them will be carrying parts of their own story. Embrace the atmosphere around you and enjoy the journey.   Musicians: Marius Holland – Piano Jerom van der Laar Wijen – Electric Bass Nicolas Kyriakides – Drums Tasos Alexiou – Guitar (Acoustic, Electric) Andreas Savvides – Guitar (Electric) Caetano Ruin – Percussion Sara Maraston – Cello Janne Audomara – Violin Megija Marija Kuzmina – Backing Vocals Feli Them – Backing Vocals Nadia Bouamra Martinez – Backing Vocals Qisheng Zheng – Flute Moritz Beck – Trombone César Gavira Lara – Piano
