Contemporary music for organ and piano

The Orgelpark cooperates this season a few times with the serie Nieuwe Noten. Today's concert is the second one in this cooperation; the musicians are Xenia Pestova and Francesca Ajossa.

Described as 'a powerhouse of contemporary keyboard repertoire' (Tempo), pianist and composer Xenia Pestova Bennett has earned an international reputation as a leading proponent of uncompromising music. Her work spans a wide range of sound worlds, styles and genres from classical to contemporary art music, free improvisation, experimental electronica and avant-pop.

The young and talented organist Francesca Ajossa has already completed three musical degrees with the highest distinction by the age of 25 and is now a sought-after musician both at home and abroad. In her artistic research, Ajossa connects music with movement.

This concert takes place at the Orgelpark as part of the Nieuwe Noten Amsterdam series.
