Hear the bassoon as you’ve never heard it before. Bram demonstrates -
both musically and verbally - the huge range and multiple colours of his
instrument. From Baroque to rock, experimentation is the name of
tonight’s game with two world premiere works and a new electric
guitar-effect pedal adding a dynamic new dimension to this engaging
musician’s performance.
Bram van Sambeek was the first bassoonist ever to win the Dutch
Music Prize. He sees no boundaries in his music making and is keen to
commission new work as well as collaborate with musicians from other
musical genres such as jazz and rock music. He regularly performs with
some of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. He won his BBT
Award in 2011 and has used part of it to co-commission a new concerto
from Finnish composer Sebastian Fagerlund which he premiered in December
2014.
