About this concert
Al vroeg in zijn carrière begreep de Amerikaanse minimal music-componist Steve Reich dat de klassieke manier van zingen een erg eenzijdige manier is om je stem te gebruiken. Hij experimenteerde met taperecorders en vervormde en herhaalde zinnen, woorden en geluiden. Zo kwam Reich tot de conclusie dat spreken ook altijd een vorm van zingen is. Zijn meesterwerk ‘Different Trains’, waarin hij treingeluiden aangrijpend mixt met getuigenissen op tape van Holocaust-overlevenden, vormt de basis van een concert dat de spreekstem toont in al haar muzikaliteit.

Dudok Quartet Amsterdam Biography
The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam aims to show that music affects people; that music can lead us to profundity and connection especially when it provokes friction. The true meaning of music reveals itself in a shared experience in which you, as a listener, play a vital role.
In repertoire ranging from Ligeti, Shostakovich and Bacewicz through to Mendelssohn, Mozart and Beethoven, the Dudok Quartet constantly strives to forge new pathways and connections in music. Their intelligent approach and flair for programming sees them regularly perform their own arrangements of pieces and they have so far produced arrangements of composers including Gesualdo, Desprez, Shostakovich, Brahms and Messiaen. The Quartet is also committed to commissioning new works and has collaborated with composers including Joey Roukens, Peter Vigh and Theo Loevendie . 2024 sees the Quartet premiere a new piece from British-Lebanese composer Bushra El-Turk, co-commissioned for the Dudok by the String Quartet Biennale Amsterdam, West Cork Chamber Music Festival and the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. Another current repertoire highlight sees the Quartet undertake performances of Steve Reich’s Different Trains, for which the players have made their own new recording of the accompanying tape track.
