My husband Jorrit Dijkstra will be premiering a new piece he composed for the David Kweksilber Big Band on May 21 at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam.
DKBB is known for playing "the ultimate music of this moment," according to I Amsterdam. Improvisation often plays a role, as it will with Jorrit's piece... which is a moody one I've been hearing emanating from our basement for several weeks and am eager to hear translated to live instruments. Jorrit will be playing Lyricon, a vintage wind synthesizer from the 1960s.
I was very lucky to have Jorrit write music for my films Monkey Dance and Indelible Lalita.
