Festival Dag in de Branding

Helena Basilova guest curator in October

This edition of Festival Dag in de Branding is entirely dedicated to wood. Wood for carpentry, wood for building instruments, but also the wood from the trees that we need to survive. The theme originated from guest curator Helena Basilova, pianist and composer, who curated a diverse programme. As the final highlight, Helena will present her own latest project: Arbor (which means ‘tree’).

HIIIT (formerly Slagwerk Den Haag) will be playing six wooden planks for an hour, with astonishing results: a performance of the modern classic Timber by Michael Gordon was at the top of Helena’s wish list. The performance will be preceded by a workshop for children, who will be working with wooden instruments and objects for the occasion, led by composer Remy Alexander.

After a sound walk through the Palace Garden, curated by composer Sophie Jurrjens, the Ragazze Quartet will present the latest work by Kate Moore. In Memories of Trees, Moore examines the complex chain of wood production, which provides us with our most beautiful instruments, but which also has a major ecological impact. This edition of Dag in de Branding will begin on Friday evening with a world premiere by Max Knigge for the Residentie Orkest.
