Every morning of the Dutch Design Week (19 to 27 October) a live concert with the music of J.S. Bach takes place at the Ketelhuisplein, in The Growing Pavilion of Company New Heroes. Using his sounds as a starting point, a number of musicians create live moments, which are recorded and processed into a soundscape. New ones are added every day, feeding the soundscape, which keeps growing and changing organically during the 9 days of DDW: this is Growing Music!

Musicians feeding the soundscape with the music of Bach are Laurens de Man (chest organ), Goska Isphording (harpsichord), Eilidh Martin (cello), Diederik van Wassenaer (violin), Vincent van Amsterdam (accordion), Maximiliano Ciaffi (piano) and Jacqueline Hamelink (cello).

In addition, based on the soundscape and the theme (water, nature, environment) new music will be improvised by Stevko Busch (jazz pianist) on 24 October. The sound designers who will bring the soundscape to life are Aart Strootman and Richard van Kruysdijk.

The morning concert of music by J.S. Bach lasts 15 to 20 minutes and is open to everyone. On October 27, only the full-grown soundscape can be heard. The Growing Pavilion containing the soundscape Growing Music can be visited continuously.

Growing Music was developed by Jacqueline Hamelink on behalf of the Province of North Brabant (Water, Nature, Environment).
