Due to great success in December 2009, here comes the follow-up to Pimp My Organ! During this concert, the computerized Fokker organ will once again be controlled by laptops. For this occasion, two composers have created a new work. Using the latest electronic possibilities, the 31-tone organ will again be expanded, “pimped,” and transformed!
The works by Verduin, Benard, Pfeiffer, and Mensingh premiered in 2010 during the Gaudeamus Music Week and will now be performed for the first time in the Fokker organ concert series. In addition, flautist Jos Zwaanenburg will perform a revised composition together with organist Ere Lievonen. Alongside a premiere by the Mexican composer Sebastian Velasco, a new work will also be heard by the New York-based composer and 2007 Gaudeamus Music Prize winner Christopher Trapani, who composed this piece under the supervision of master composer and spectralist Tristan Murail.
