Een muzikale roadtrip voor jong en oud

Valentina verlangt naar een BFF. Een Best Friend Forever. Want in haar familie is zij het vreemde eendje, het zwarte schaap, of nog erger: ‘anders’. Op een dag besluit ze het huis te verlaten. Op zoek naar iemand die haar wel begrijpt. In deze reis vol ontberingen ontmoet Valentina de muzikale goeroes van het gevoel. Met hun instrumenten tonen zij haar alle hoeken van hun emoties. Als Valentina haar emoties beheerst zal ze vrienden kunnen maken. Toch? Over het wankele evenwicht tussen je aanpassen en jezelf zijn. En hoe ingewikkeld dat soms is.

In de muziektheatervoorstelling Familie Vermi-celli deelt zangeres/actrice Myrthe van der Vuurst de Vries het podium met de jonge cellisten Chieko Donker Duyvis, Simon Velthuis en percussionist Eric Robillard (Percossa). Met aanstekelijke liedjes van Jan Groenteman en klassiek cellorepertoire.

Familie Vermi-celli is een coproductie van Theater Jaski en Cello Biennale Amsterdam. Na het succes van de voorstelling tijdens het festival in 2022, is deze in de aanloop naar het festival in 2024 nog één keer te zien!

Zwoele mediterraanse en Arabische muziek met een stevige dosis cello

In 2018 maakte de Algerijns-Franse zangeres en celliste Nesrine haar debuut op de Cello Biënnale met haar band NES en sindsdien is zij een van de publiekslievelingen van het festival.

Tijdens de 10e Cello Biënnale (31 oktober - 10 november 2024) zal Nesrine samen met het Nederlands Blazers Ensemble en celliste Chieko Donker Duyvis een programma brengen met opzwepende Braziliaanse samba’s, melancholieke Arabische melodieën, Japanse volksliedjes en aanstekelijke Spaanse ritmes. Om alvast in de stemming te komen, staat Nesrine vandaag tijdens The Kick-Off in het Bimhuis met haar vriendin, percussionist, gitarist en zangeres Anissa Nehari. Een concert vol zwoele mediterraanse en Arabische muziek met een stevige dosis cello!

Anissa

Iris Bakker

In 2018, Algerian-French singer and cellist Nesrine made her debut at the Cello Biennale with her band NES, and since then, she has become one of the festival’s favorite performers. During the tenth Cello Biennale, she collaborates with the Dutch Wind Ensemble and cellist Chieko Donker Duyvis (see family performance “Familie Vermi-Celli!”) to present a program featuring exhilarating Brazilian sambas, melancholic Arabic melodies, Japanese folk songs, and infectious Spanish rhythms.

To get into the mood, Nesrine, along with her friend, percussionist, guitarist, and singer Anissa Nehari, will perform during The Kick-Off at our stage. Expect a concert filled with sultry Mediterranean and Arabic music with a hefty dose of cello!

Kick-Off Cello Biennale Cellofest

Scott Hamilton

Rein de Graaff

Marius Beets

Eric Ineke

American tenor hero brings swing, jazz and bop at the highest level.

According to The Guardian, Scott Hamilton represents the timeless essence of jazz. The tenor saxophonist is known for his captivating style of playing, for which trumpeter Roy Eldridge was a major influence. After trying out several instruments, he picked the saxophone when he ended up in New York. He stayed with the instrument ever since and performed with jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman and Woody Herman.

This concert will feature straight-ahead jazz of the highest level by a musician who has been at the international top for many years. He will be accompanied by some of the finest in Dutch jazz: Rein de Graaff on piano, Marius Beets on double bass, and Eric Ineke on drums.

‘Following a Scott Hamilton solo is like listening to a great conversationalist in full flow. First comes the voice, the inimitable, assured sound of his tenor saxophone, then the informal style and finally the amazing fluency and eloquent command of the jazz language’ (Dave Gelly).

Zoh Amba

Farida Amadou

Chris Corsano

Saxophonist Zoh Amba developed her impressive volume through practicing in the open air, in the forest near Kingsport, Tennessee, where she grew up. Melodies from folk and gospel resonate in her intense improvisations on tenor sax and flute. She currently lives in New York, where she studied with David Murray and where she connected with the avant-jazz scene. Her debut album O, Sun was released on John Zorn’s label Tzadik.

Under the group name Bhakti, Zoh Amba performs in various line-ups, at this concert with bassist Farida Amadou and drummer Chris Corsano. The word ‘Bhakti’ comes from Sanskrit and means devotion to god, which is synonymous to music for Zoh Amba. In this conviction she finds kinship with the legendary saxophonist Albert Ayler, one of the originators of free jazz. In recent years, Zoh Amba has performed with, among others, William Parker, Tyshawn Sorey en Vijay Iyer.

Tijs Klaassen Quintet

Rising stars from the Amsterdam jazz scene present their new albums.

In the past years we built a strong connection with the young musicians that will perform in this twofold concert. Guitarist Ella Zirina released her debut album on BIMHUIS Records and will now present its follow-up. And the members of the Tijs Klaassen Kwintet have already performed on our stage in various line-ups. Now this band will release a new album as well.

Ella Zirina will play compositions from her new solo album _Unraveler_ on DOX Records. The music cycles through various moods, exploring textures and techniques and celebrating the guitar in all its capricious beauty. The Latvian guitarist graduated with the highest honours at Conservatorium van Amsterdam, having studied with, among others, Jesse van Ruller and Reinier Baas.

Tijs Klaassen is a highly demanded bassist in Dutch jazz. His quintet is a close group of friends who, despite their young age, have been playing together for almost a decade. They feel right at home in the borderlands between jazz, classical music, electronics and free improvisation. This spring will see the release of their new album _Adhocism_ on ZenneZ Records and Elastic Records.

SHABAKA

The London jazz scene is in the midst of a true renaissance, with composer and bandleader SHABAKA leading the way. Influenced on the one hand by his classical clarinet studies at the Guildhall School of Music in London and on the other by grime, house, jungle and dub from the London underground, SHABAKA moves between genres like no other.

After successes as a tenor saxophonist and bandleader of great bands like Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming and Shabaka and The Ancestors, SHABAKA decides to say goodbye to the saxophone as of now and continue on different flutes, such as the East Asian Shakuhachi. His latest album, _Afrikan Culture_, is his first solo album on the prestigious _Impulse!_, the legendary label behind the spiritual jazz of John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. Now he returns to our venue with a new quintet and a new album called _Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace,_ which features big names like Esperanza Spalding, Moses Sumney and even André 3000.

Līva Dumpe

Double concert with young international players giving jazz a contemporary update.

International jazz talent flourishes in The Netherlands. This concert includes forward-thinking young masters from all over the world who have established themselves here, in the tight-knit trio Mn3mosyne and the adventurous quintet of vocalist Līva Dumpe. Both formations feature Ilia Rayskin, the in-demand drummer who has collaborated with Tineke Postma, Jesse van Ruller, and many others.

In Greek mythology, Mnemosyne is the goddess of memory. The young trio Mn3mosyne reminisces great achievements in the past while looking ahead. Material of atonal composers such as Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutosławski and Morton Feldman is re-envisioned and adapted to an improvisational environment. At the same time the band takes inspiration from musicians such as J. Cole, Squarepusher and James Blake, for example through the use of electronics. Drummer Ilia Rayskin created the compositions.

Strong melodies, emotional stories and energetic improvisations are at the core of the ensemble of Latvian vocalist, pianist and composer Līva Dumpe. The connecting element is Līva’s voice and her role as storyteller. The band’s sound gravitates toward the idea of ritual and mysticism, stretching between the influences of jazz, avant-garde and folk. The instrumentation creates playful contrasts between the chamber-like orchestrations and rough, dynamic grooves. This concert previews the upcoming debut album _Tālskatis_, to be released in June.

Het BIMHUIS is een plek voor baanbrekende musici en nieuwsgierige luisteraars van alle generaties.

Hier wordt jazzgeschiedenis gevierd, ontwikkelt jong talent zich en wordt het gesprek over muzikale conventies en vrijheid doorlopend gevoerd. Al sinds 1974 zijn we een knooppunt in het nationale en internationale netwerk van grensverleggende muziek.

ONZE MISSIE

Wij beloven het publiek een wederkerige concertervaring op een prachtige plek, waar state-of-the-art, grensverleggende jazz ontstaat. In een persoonlijke sfeer met perfect geluid.

We programmeren vanuit het vrije denken. Dat doen we sinds 1974 met musici, makers, programmeurs en publiek die allen een bijdrage leveren aan het gesprek over (muzikale) conventies en vrijheid.

We geven vorm aan de veranderende wereld: we faciliteren projecten, initiëren en organiseren het maken van nieuw werk.

Het BIMHUIS is, net als jazz zélf, een open vorm, onophoudelijk in ontwikkeling, in relatie met de wereld – een mentaliteit. We scheppen in alle lagen van de organisatie condities om goed te luisteren voor meer wederzijds begrip. Luisteren naar de muziek, naar makers, naar elkaar, naar de bezoekers en naar de samenleving.

De uitgebreide versie van onze missie, doelen en plannen de aankomende jaren zijn te lezen in ons Beleidsplan.

STEUN
Het BIMHUIS heeft een ANBI-status. De Gemeente Amsterdam steunt ons met een meerjarige subsidie en ons programma wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door het Fonds Podiumkunsten, Ammodo, Sena, Janivo en Brook Foundation. Wij zijn zeer dankbaar voor de steun van de leden van NEWTHING, onze vrienden en donateurs. Het BIMHUIS wordt gesponsord door Grolsch.
