Notes Between Keys

The tones that, in theory, lie “between the keys of the piano” can indeed be played on the Fokker organ, the 31-tone guitar, and especially on the Carrillo piano, which has 96 tones and keys per octave. During this concert, Ensemble SCALA will once again bring many of these tones to life in exciting works. The programme features a premiere by the Italian composer Lucio Garau, who has previously written an intriguing composition for 31-tone organ and viola da gamba. In addition to works by the old master Nicola Vicentino, compositions by the Quebecois composer François-Gabriel Madden (written specifically for the ensemble in 2011) and the Dutch composer Gijsbrecht Roijé will be performed.

Tickets can be reserved through the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ. Please note: drinks after the concert are no longer included this season. However, the admission price for the concert has been reduced.
