FRIDAY 16.10.20

Space is the Place is organizing another Intergalactic Night. Evenings that are notorious for their groundbreaking character, with performances in all kinds of genres and disciplines, from jazz, improv and classical to dance, theater, poetry and literature. The house pianist is Ernst Glerum, who’s known as the double bass player of the ICP Orchestra and the Benjamin Herman Trio.

Featuring this edition:

The young cellist Lidy Blijdorp, known for her enormous narrative power. At the Amsterdam Cello Biennale she was praised for her “staggering musicality”. In Paris, this super talent obtained her master with the highest distinction (1ière Prix avec félicitations, 2011). Recently Lidy performed her Artist Diploma recital at the prestigious Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth, where she studied with Gary Hoffman.

And further: poet and writer Joost Oomen. A gifted performer who has performed at Crossing Border and Lowlands, among others. He also collaborated with the garage jazz band Kruidkoek.

And: Ada Rave and John Dikeman. Two well known saxophonists from the Amsterdam improv underground. They both give a solo performance on tenor sax.

‘Play Lidy Blijdorp’s debut album and be perplexed.’ (de Volkskrant)
