Edition 70 / 31/1/2 Jun 2024

Edition 70

The presentation of the Willem Pijper Award takes centre stage in this edition of Festival Dag in de Branding from 31 May to 2 June. Composers Cecilia Arditto and Trevor Grahl will be presented with this composition award from The Hague City Council by alderman Saskia Bruines in Amare. Of course, Arditto and Grahl’s work can be heard in the festival, which this time stretches over three days.

And there is more, much more. Tenor Marcel Beekman and the saxophonists of the Amstel Quartet perform Reza Namavar’s absurdist operatic radio play The Enchanted Dishwasher – wacky, compelling, and not to be missed. Another exciting piece of musical theatre can be enjoyed on Friday night: Timo Tembuyser’s MISSA MAMA NOVA, a choral concert about ‘archetypal Mother energy’. And Heather Pinkham presents a new edition of her successful Music for Empty Spaces project, featuring new solo pieces by nine composers.

An important part of Festival Dag in the Branding is the development programme for promising young makers. Maker-in-residence Guzmán Calzada Llorente crowns his two-year collaboration with the festival with a major work for ensemble Modelo62. New maker-in-residence Myrto Nizami presents a first scene from the new chamber opera she will be developing during her residency.
