Aardlek #13: Nieuwbouw

A concert with compositions by Jeroen van Dijk (1959)

In Nieuwbouw, Orkest De Ereprijs presents a selection of works by composer and orchestra member Jeroen van Dijk, written during his time with the orchestra.

Pieces from his early period include Funk in Turquoise for Cuun (1984), a piece dedicated to a colleague, and De Eresuite (1985), a series of dances. The title piece Nieuwbouw (1995) came about when piles were being driven next to his workplace, combined with the introduction of the electronic drumming device Octapad.

In addition, two compositions written specifically for colleagues in the orchestra will be performed: To Bone Or (2017) and Jedes Ende Hat Seinen Anfang (2023). Also featured is 3X4+5 (2016), a piece Jeroen composed as additional repertoire for De Ereprijs's Composition Project, in which schoolchildren write music pieces as part of their final exams.

In Jeroen van Dijk's words, “In short, a bit of everything. Especially pieces that made and make me happy as a composer: lyricism wrapped in chiseled constructions of notes, rhythms and chords.”

Concert Information
Saturday, December 21, 2024, 3 p.m.
Podium Gigant, Nieuwstraat 277 Apeldoorn
