Sunday 4 September - Gerard Scholten Tuinconcert ┆ a Vrooom Special

During the covid-affected years Lukas Simonis initiated a garden concert series as open-air type of events obviously proved to be the pragmatic solution to the ban on indoor-shows.
This will be this year's only edition taking place at Gerard Scholtenstraat 92 in Rotterdam, featuring music from all over the world, including but not limited to: Brazilian Choro, Swedish Tango, Rock 'n' Roll, and “Dutch Mouses and Slovenian Rabbits”.

The performing musicians:

● Elisabeth Fadel
● Nina Hitz
● Tisa Neža Herlec
● Mia Andresen
● Lukas Simonis
● Floor Polder

Join us and listen to fine music, have a drink and say goodbye to the summer and hello to the next cultural season that -we hope- won't be interrupted with lockdowns and other bad stuff...

Entrance: free but a donation is encouraged
Please note: make a reservation!

┆ MARTIJN COMES ┆ (NL)
Martijn Comes is a Dutch composer with a keen interest in the character of sound found within various musical traditions. Most of his work gravitates towards electroacoustic composition, with some of his harmonies described sounding as if they were exhumed from the dregs of harsh noise, and others having an almost extraterrestrial quality.
