Conlon’s Disklavier Residency

For the first time, the Conlon Collective and the Muziekgebouw are co-hosting a composition residency. For two weeks, five composers will work on new pieces for the Yamaha Disklavier, a computer-controlled piano with unique sound and texture capabilities. In this presentation, the newly developed work can be heard for the first time. There is also room for reflection and discussion.

The Conlon Collective is committed to new music for automatically playing instruments, with a special focus on the Disklavier. For this residency, Maud Peters, Christian Johannes and Robert Nettleship have been invited to work with the instrument for two weeks. From the Conlon Collective, Boris Bezemer and Daniel Schorno are participating. Five composers, five new works!
