Less is definitely more with The Monochrome Project. Their unique eight-trumpet ensemble has delivered many powerfully minimalist experiences at the Muziekgebouw in the past. Sometimes with just a few notes, but with an enormous richness of sound and imagination in the compositions. This time, the ensemble presents a new work by Elena Rykova, who uses sound to create a sense of space.
In addition to this world premiere, the ensemble will perform a new composition by Wadada Leo Smith, who made a name for himself as a trumpeter in the American jazz avant-garde. The programme also features the European premiere of Trumpet by the rediscovered minimalist and activist Julius Eastman. The Monochrome Project was founded in 2015 by trumpet innovator Marco Blaauw, following his collaboration with minimalist pioneer LaMonte Young.
This concert was originally scheduled for April 2, 2025. However, for planning reasons, the concert has been moved to Friday April 4, 2025. Tickets that have already been sold remain valid, ticket buyers receive a notification.
