Concert March 20, 2011 | Clara de Mik, Robbert van Hulzen and Ere Lievonen

Concert | March 20th 2011, 11.00 hours | BAM Hall - Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam

Boem Boe Bali!

Gamelan is characteristic of the Indonesian classical music. 31-tone music is a typical Dutch invention that has been developed here in The Netherlands. The 31-tone tuning of the Fokker-organ has possibilities to play exotic melodies and harmonies, as can be heard in different types of gamelan. It's possible to devide the fifth in three, like in the Balinese scale with 6/5 seconds. These sounds fit well with the pelog and sllendro tunings of the metallophones, gongs and drums which are present in the Balinese and Javanese gamelan. The percussionists Robbert van Hulzen en Clara de Mik, both specialists in performing on the gamelan, will accompany Ere Lievonen (Fokker organ) musically during this remarkable concert. A melting pot of exotic sounds will be the result.

 

Tickets can be reserved at the Muziekgebouw. The tickets include a drink after the concert in the Star Ferry restaurant of the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.
