Self-styled composer challenges herself with sampler and young musicians she hasn’t worked with before.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This year the BIMHUIS Composition Assignment has been awarded to Corrie van Binsbergen. Fragments of text, poetry, interviews with artists, film dialogs and more form the libretto for her new composition. It will be performed by an extraordinary septet with mostly young musicians with whom Van Binsbergen has not worked before. She controls the text samples on stage and may even pick up the guitar.
Composer and guitarist Corrie van Binsbergen leads Stichting Brokken, a foundation which has initiated countless crossover projects. She became known with her group Corrie en de (Grote) Brokken. She developed a singular and surprising combination of music and literature, which she has dubbed ‘films for the ears’. She has collaborated with many literary authors, and has received important awards such as the Boy Edgar Prijs and the Buma Classical Award 2024.
