Memory & Traces

Verkoop v.a. 23 May 12:00 uur
Robin Scherpen lets you listen without distraction. In Memory & Traces, the concert begins in darkness. At first you hear only his guitar. No images. No noise. Only sound that slowly seeps in and stills your attention. From that darkness unfolds a personal musical performance full of memories and thoughts.

Scherpen is among the notable guitarists of today. His compositions have been released on Deutsche Grammophon and he has performed in major venues across the country. In this performance he deliberately chooses intimacy. You hear how his guitar moves from fragile and small to powerful and compelling. In this way, he takes you from darkness to light.

Memory & Traces is not about success or applause. It is about what music can do to you when you really listen. About space in your mind. About comfort. About the moment when heart and mind come together again. That makes this performance both intimate and topical. In a time full of stimuli, this is a concert that allows you to detach briefly from everything around you.

Ambitus presents Robin Scherpen
Ambitus builds a bridge between today’s contemporary composers and their audience. In this hectic world, it is pleasant to disconnect from time to time and lose yourself in the beauty of music. Performed by the composers themselves, each Ambitus presents performance takes you on a musical journey interwoven with personal stories from the maker. It hardly gets more personal than this. For some, this musical movement may be better known as neo‑classical; Ambitus is the platform for contemporary music performed by the composers themselves, aiming to inspire and connect.

Whether this performance has an interval is not yet known.
