Best of 2017
At the end of every year music journalists compile lists of musicians and concerts they felt were the highlights of the year. This year, once again, Doek was well represented with numerous accolades. Especially in the case of Kaja Draksler, far too many to mention! Kaja was honoured for her albums – Gledalec by the Kaja Draksler Octet and To Pianos, her duo with Eve Risser. She also topped lists in categories pianist, composer, group and new ensemble. Jasper Stadhouders found his name on countless lists especially in the category electric bass, most likely thanks to his playing with Ken Vandermark’s Made to Break whose new albums topped many lists.…
All here at Doek – musicians Eric Boeren, John Dikeman, Kaja Draksler, Oscar Jan Hoogland, Wilbert de Joode, Michael Moore, Jasper Stadhouders, Wolter Wierbos; board members Gunther Barten, Jappe Groenendijk, Lena Vizy, Malaya Zumel and coordinator Carolyn Muntz wish you all the best for 2018. We hope to meet you at one of our concerts this year. The Doek Festival is planned for 14 – 17 June – save the dates! …
