| Time: 14:15. XILIIN is the collaboration between Maya Fridman and LudoWic. Both explore the potential for interaction and tension between contemporary classical and modern electronic music. The result is an experimental sound driven by cello, vocal, and synthesizers. Sometimes ambient oriented, sometimes more rhythmical driven. Their concern about the global environment is integrated into their music-making: they convert the data of the current state of our cities, which is used for sustainable applications, to musical works. With XILIIN, Maya and LudoWic will create a unique musical world in which they play with tension and release. | ||||

| Time: 20:00. | ||||
| Apr 21 | Solo recital: Passacaglia | Garmerwolde | Kerk Garmerwolde | NL |
| Time: 20:00. Passacaglia by Russian-Canadian composer Nikolai Korndorf’s (1997) is an instrumental version of Dante’s Commedia Divina. The choice of title, Passacaglia, is quite enigmatic, possibly addressing the word’s etymology, from pasar to walk. Perhaps Korndorf saw the form as a symbol for Dante’s travels through Hell and Purgatory to Paradise. In any case, the music certainly seems to represent a voyage of some sort.(from “Nikolai Korndorf and his music” by Alexander Ivashkin). I imagine this whole music program as a symbolic passacaglia, beginning at Dante’s gates of Hell in the composition by Giovanni Sollima, and gradually ascending through Bach’s musical universes. | ||||

| Mar 29 | The Power of Indifference album release | Amsterdam | The Other Side | NL |
| Time: 20:00. Very happy to invite you all to The Power of Indifference album release! This album is the result of the trajectory set up by Giovanni Giovanni after he received the Anner Bijlsma Award in 2018. For this trajectory, he chose four cellists (including myself) and guided them in developing their composing style and producing their solo albums. The Power of Indifference features my music and poetry and takes the stoic concept of indifference as a cornerstone. I am incredibly grateful to the Cello Biennale Amsterdam and TRPTK for supporting me in this process! The album presentation will take place at The Other Side, and the fantastic Soheil Shayesteh will join me on kamancheh and live electronics. | ||||
