Ada Rave plays Angels’ Share

Ada Rave is next up to perform solo as part of Herbert Nouwens’ exhibition, Angels’ Share, in Westerpark on August 9. Ada will begin at 17:00 in front of the twin sculpture Angels’ Share which stands just west of Pacific Parc.

Ada Rave, originally from Argentina, moved to Amsterdam just over a year ago and immediately integrated into the improvised music community. Performing regularly throughout town, her saxophone playing shows a wealth of knowledge and technique ranging from a deep understanding of traditional jazz harmony as well as a variety of extended techniques all showcasing a beautiful, warm tone that can easily shift from the delicate to the robust. Ada, along with husband and musical partner Nicolas Chientaroli, have also proven to be hardworking curators, organizing a number of improvisation based events throughout Amsterdam. We are very happy to have her performing as part of this series.
