Oene van Geel – July 2021

THU 8th JULY 20.00 VONDELKERK, AMSTERDAM
Dudok Quartet Amsterdam – with among others work from Oene van Geel

Due to urgent maintenance to the Uilenburgersjoel, these concerts have been moved to the Vondelkerk in Amsterdam on July 8. People who have already bought tickets will receive a personal message.

In the Signature Sessions the Dudoks reinvent the string quartet in every possible way. With new arrangements of music not written for string quartet, but also by putting the classics from the string quartet canon in a new light.

In this session they explore three classics from jazz: John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Charles Mingus’ Boogie Stop Shuffle and Bill Evans’ Blue in Green. Johannes Brahms was inspired by the same fact as John Coltrane in his interlude opus 19 no. 1. While many in his day considered him a conservative, Arnold Schoenberg saw in it a great innovator who pointed ahead to the twentieth century with his rhythmic structures in his second string quartet.
