About this concert
In ‘This Ground’ brengen tablaspeler Heiko Dijker en harpiste Lavinia Meijer de klassieke westerse muziek en de klassieke Indiase muziek samen in verschillende werken van Glass, Shankar, Purcell, Dijker & Meijer, en improvisaties op Indiase Raga’s. Via de muziek van Philip Glass, één van grondleggers van de minimal music, die sterk beïnvloed is door de Indiase sitarspeler Ravi Shankar, kwam Lavinia in contact met Heiko Dijker, die als ‘global ambassador’ voor de Indiase klassieke muziek bekend staat (The Times of India, India).‘This Ground’ gaat over het hier en nu, in de context van deze tijd, deze aarde, met Indiase klassieke ragamuziek en haar verinnerlijking ondanks de chaotische maatschappij, de vloeiende continuïteit van Glass’ muziek, als in een ground, en het diepere gevoel van thuiskomen, van jezelf vinden in je echte zelf: we kunnen nergens anders heen.

Lavinia Meijer Biography
Dutch - South Korean, award-winning harpist Lavinia Meijer is one of the most diverse harpists of the 21st century. After her debut at the Carnegie Hall in New York in 2007, she is invited regularly to perform as a soloist in Europe, Asia and America. In 2009 she was awarded the Dutch Music Prize, the highest distinction by the Dutch Government for a Dutch classical musician. Meijer is passionate about broadening the possibilities of the harp. Her affinity with the music of Philip Glass and her intense groundbreaking renditions of his music have mesmerised audiences across the world. Her albums Metamorphosis/The Hours and The Glass Effect interpret works of Philip Glass, a process Glass himself was involved in. Their meeting marked the beginning of a new musical journey for Lavinia. Her albums are released worldwide (Channel Classics, Sony Classics) and have been rewarded with an Edison Award and a golden and platinum-status.
