Dag in de Branding (Festival for New Music) devotes special attention in this edition to the work of composer Peter Adriaansz. Ensemble SCALA, including the Fokker keyboard, performs the first concert of the day, presenting the premiere of his latest work, entitled Scala I. Adriaansz’s austere yet intriguing and radiant composition was created specifically for the ensemble in 31-tone tuning. Remarkable is his intelligent use of the overtone series. The programme also features works by Nicola Vicentino, Ned McGowan, and Steffen Krebber. Tickets can be reserved via the Korzo Theatre in The Hague (Prinsestraat 42).
Korzo presents a special portrait concert during the Dag in de Branding festival centred around the The Hague-based composer Peter Adriaansz. His work explores sound, form, and what he terms “audible” mathematics. Recently, his compositions have also displayed microtonal influences.

Ensemble SCALA is the new ensemble for microtonal music in the Netherlands, initiated by the Huygens-Fokker Foundation (centre for microtonal music). Notably, the famous Fokker organ is part of this ensemble. All the musicians are specialists in microtonal music, collectively exploring the vibrant possibilities of microtonality in contemporary music and beyond.
