They’ll take you on a journey in sound, rich in melody and texture, from calm seas via rough waves to unknown islands.

LEO SVIRSKY SOLO
Leo Svirsky (b. 1988, USA) is a Russian-American pianist and composer currently based in the Hague. His music explores the instability of listening and the disorientation of memory and affect while remaining grounded in history and symbol, song and story. A transcendental experience.

DIAMANDA DRAMM / DAVID DRAMM / ANNE LA BERGE
They’ve been called ‘the 21st century von Trapp family’ – composer and guitarist David Dramm, composer and flutist Anne La Berge, and their daughter, composer and violinist Diamanda La Berge Dramm (Dutch Classical Talent in 2018). For as long as Diamanda can remember, the La Berge Dramm family has been making music, separately and together, on stage and at home. Last year, their own compositions, pieces by such composers as Charles Ives, and also covers of the likes of The Velvet Underground, Cindy Walker and Burt Bacharach, were documented on a triple LP, Modern Genetics (Splendor Records), by turns tough and tender.
Expect a good dose of harmonizing vocals and playful virtuosity.
