Introduction Ieder voorjaar presenteert het Nieuw Ensemble een première-programma onder de titel An Evening of Today. Jonge componisten – masterstudenten en alumni van de conservatoria van Amsterdam en Den Haag – krijgen de vrije hand om een werk voor het Nieuw Ensemble te schrijven. De verbeelding staat hierbij centraal: de componisten worden gestimuleerd de ongekende mogelijkheden van het Muziekgebouw en de musici te benutten en kunnen daarbij gebruik maken van speciale belichting, ongebruikelijke opstellingen, video, elektronica en meer. De componisten van de editie van 2018 zijn: Nuno Lobo (Portugal), Kate Honey (Engeland) en Boris Bezemer (Nederland) van het Conservatorium van Amsterdam en James Alexandropoulos-McEwan (Griekenland/ Schotland), Il Hoon Son (Zuid Korea) en Alexandre Kordzaia (Georgië) van het Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. aneveningoftoday.com

Introduction
Het Nieuw Ensemble is nieuwsgierig naar jong talent. Zoals tijdens An Evening of Today. De avond waarbij het Nieuw Ensemble de sleutel van het Muziekgebouw krijgt en deze vol vertrouwen in de handen van het toptalent van het Conservatorium stopt. Dat heeft er al toe geleid dat de zaal werd omgebouwd tot tennisbaan en het geluid van vliegertouwen buiten deel uitmaakten van een soundscape binnen, in de Grote Zaal. Maarten van Boven directeur Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ
An Evening of Today aims to present the latest ideas and artistic endeavours of young composers in a professional context. Few are the opportunities for the general public to hear such an outstanding ensemble showcase the creativity and musical craft of young artists. Carmen Vanderveken, componist (deelnemer editie 2016)
First and foremost, An Evening of Today is about finding ways to connect with an audience in different ways than the usual, and searching for a new way to package ideas and deliver them. This is of great value, because the art world is a dynamic and ever-evolving beast in which ways to communicate have to be found perpetually. The audience may be moved, fascinated or intrigued – no matter their age, as long as they enjoy seeing what’s happening in ‘classical’ music right now. In facilitating this project, the NE pits itself at the frontline and gives us the – undeniably great – possibility of working with a professional ensemble. Rick van Veldhuizen, componist (deelnemer editie 2016) 5
Programme Notes Alexandre Kordzaia
Boris Bezemer
Lightbulbs
A Puppet Opera
This piece is based on a very simple and slightly confusing rhythmical pattern found in Georgian folk music. This pattern is first presented in its raw form and then taken on a little journey through different harmonic and melodic worlds. The acoustic soundworld is enhanced by a slightly out of tune polyphonic synthesizer.
In this piece for the Nieuw Ensemble I am looking for sound characters that are intense and unveiled; that express themselves through techniques of modern music; and that keep on repeating until exhausted. Their common quality is a determined and forward pointing focus. These sound characters keep piling up again and again in different combinations and every time they form another experimental architecture. A Puppet Opera is structured in nine movements. Movements 4, 7, 8 and 9 start attacca: without a break after the previous movement.
Nuno Lobo 無 Wú We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.
Kate Honey Anthropocene
In my piece Anthropocene, I am interested in the duality of nature and natural systems, and industry and industrial systems. Musically, I aim to contrast and mix cyclical, We hammer wood for a house, repetitive music (which I associate with but it is the inner space that makes it livable. nature) and music which intensifies and accelerates (which I associate with industry). We work with being, The first half of the piece is more cyclical, but non-being is what we use. whereas the ending is an acceleration and intensification.

dramatic juxtaposition. Hambach Forest is an ancient forest many hundreds of years old. Since 1978, 90% of the forest has been cleared by RWE (an energy company) to make way for Europe’s largest coal mine: the Tagebau Hambach, a mine the size of Amsterdam. In December 2017 I joined the forest treehouse protest camp to try to halt RWE’s forest cutting season. When one is in the forest, there is a constant whine of machinery from the mine next door, and anonymous private security white vans circle the forest all day. These sounds mingle with the sounds of the wind in the trees, the birds, the snapping of twigs. The music (and slideshow) are a series of tableaux inspired by the experience of being in the forest, and also the experience of being in the mine (which is regularly invaded by thousands of climate activists) – an area like a moonscape, devoid of life. The recorded sounds from the electronics and slideshow pictures are from the mine and from the forest. The stones played by the percussionist are two stones from Hambach forest. With an alternative tuning system, I aim to depict the weirdness, complexity and mystery of the forest, and also the ‘jarring’ feeling of the industry next door, ready to invade and destroy the forest at any moment. Emtpy, ‘triumphalist’ music heralds the industrial complex of the mine machinery – which is nonetheless awesome in its scale and power. ‘Anthropocene’ is a name given by scientists to our new geological epoch (following the
Holocene) which is defined by human influence on the climate and biosphere. The planet on which we live has been radically altered since the Industrial Revolution. 1,400 billion tons of extra CO� have been emitted into the atmosphere since 1750 due to human activity (50% of these have been emitted since 1988). The melting of the polar icesheets has already affected how the Earth spins on its axis, and will have an enormous effect on sea level, oceanic acidity and oceanic circulation. The Holocene (the previous geological epoch) was characterised by climactic stability following the last Ice Age. The Anthropocene is characterised by system destabilization and accelerating feedback loops.
Il Hoon Son Musical Game Series #7 ‘Rhythm Bomb’ Musical Game Series #7 – ‘Rhythm Bomb’ is a piece composed based on game rules and it gives the performer maximum creativity to participate in. This new game piece for Nieuw Ensemble is 7th among the series and it’s a survival game. The ten players have to pass the bomb on to each other quickly. A player with a bomb can pass a ‘bomb’ by playing another player’s specific rhythm. The referee sets a time limit of a ‘bomb’ for each round and whatever player still playing at the bomb limit is eliminated from the game. Guess who will survive! 7
Programme Notes
James AlexandropoulosMcEwan More Layers More Layers is a piece that continues on works I have been exploring in recent compositions and performances, as well as in my Masters Research entitled Movable Furniture Music: Creating Music of Engageable Ambience. The piece creates a mix of a performance and installation setting: the musicians are spread across the hall, and respond in a predefined way to videos that are provided for the piece and which delineate the structure of the work. The audience is asked to stand and encouraged to move around the space and the musicians. Also, the audience is encouraged to use their smartphones during the performance to playback videos made specifically for the piece. And as lights and colours and electronic sounds are produced by all the videos, each performer is also attached to an interactive light, which brightens and dims according to how loud they play at any given moment. It’s an environment that audience and performers are given a degree of freedom to explore on their own terms. It provides a wealth of stimuli and information that can be decoded and experienced in many ways. In a world where technology is a central part of our lives, this piece examines a set of circumstances in which phones and 8
portable electronic devices instead of being banned from a concert hall are used to drive a performance. It investigates boredom, patience, short attention spans, sound and physical space, sound and image, recorded music and live music, colour and music, commonplace electronic technology, and a desire to interact with a closed off and distant world. Special thanks to Erik van Zoelen and Floris Hagemans for their technical assistance with the light set up.
Profiles Composers Alexandre Kordzaia
Alexandre Kordzaia (1994) is a composer and producer born in Tbilisi, Georgia. His music is a mesh of carefully balanced oppositions: deliciously snappy transients punctuate shimmering soundscapes, gently morphing into funk – a melancholic post-soviet feel pays sentimental homage to a private vision of the 1980s. Acoustic instruments sit side by side with analog synthesizers and drum
machines; field and Foley recordings blend the recognizable into the fuzzy and surreal. Growing up in a musical family he started to play drums in bands and participate in classical piano competitions at a very young age. After discovering electronic music, he decided to study sound design/engineering at the music academy of Basel, where he began to develop his own musical language. Currently he is doing his masters at the composition department of the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, with the goal of bringing the worlds of acoustic and electronic music together in a way that makes it seem as if they’ve never been two separate things in the first place. Besides releases on Prrrrrrr Records, Medschool, Hospital Records, his music is regularly performed by himself, his duo with Georgian viola player Giorgi Zagareli and orchestras/ ensembles such as Georgian Philharmonic Orchestra (Tbilisi), Kluster5 (The Hague), Zagareli String Orchestra and Junge Norddeutsche Philharmonie.
Nuno Lobo
Nuno Lobo (1996) was born in Porto, Portugal. He started studying music at age of 3, at the Instituto Orff do Porto. In 2006, he began studying bassoon at the Academia de Música de Costa Cabral, completing his studies in 2013. Still in 2013, he began studying composition at the Escola Superior de Música, Artes e Espetáculo (ESMAE), in Porto. Nuno studied composition with Carlos Azevedo, Eugénio Amorim and Dimitris Andrikopoulos and 9

completed his Bachelor degree in 2016. In 2015, his piece Time Zero for saxophone quartet was premiered at the SaxOPorto 2015 festival, commissioned by ElleQuartet. In the same year, he received commissions for Encontros Nova Música em Vila do Conde and for RTP/ Antena 2 - Prémio Jovens Músicos. In 2016, his piece Elevador for symphony orchestra was premiered, interpreted by the ESMAE Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Thomas Hauschild. Still in 2016, he received commissions for the 2nd Workshop of Band Conducting with José Eduardo Gomes and for the International Saxophone Conference EuroSax’17 Porto – 2017. In 2017, he was selected for The Times Academy, a co-creation project with the HERMESensemble, in Antwerp. He is currently a member of the project MUDEI (Music, Design and Engineering for Innovation and Internationalisation) and a bassoonist in the FEUP Symphony Orchestra, in the Martial Band of Foz 10
do Douro and in the Instant Ensemble – Ensemble of Real Time Composition in Porto. He is also a founding member of the association Interferência (Association of Intervention in Artistic Practice). At this moment, Nuno is studying with Wim Henderickx and Willem Jeths for his master degree in composition, at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
Boris Bezemer
Boris Bezemer’s music strikes a balance between structure and chance, plan and improvisation,
the standing leg and the playing leg: he takes you by surprise. He prefers simple ideas but shapes them with great care with the philosophy that the (sonic) world is makeable. Bezemer aims to create new worlds filled with energy and excitement. At the same time his work may evoke a sense of alienation; especially when there is a focus on the unnatural aspects of sounds or when he brings his music together in strange proportions. Is it a heaven or a hell? After a background in playing guitar and computer programming, Bezemer’s work has taken many shapes, among which electronic music, improvisation with homemade instruments, audiovisual installations, contemporary classical composition from solos to orchestral pieces and opera. Until 2015 Boris Bezemer studied Composition & Music Technology at the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, where he was presented with the graduation award for best

artistic achievement. He briefly studied composition in Skopje, Macedonia with Darija Andovska and in Huddersfield, UK with Monty Adkins. Afterwards he studied composition at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with Richard Ayres, Jorrit Tamminga and Joël Bons, graduating in 2017. www.borisbezemer.nl
Kate Honey
Kate Honey (1991) is a composer based in Amsterdam. She studied music at the University of Cambridge, where she
graduated in 2013 with a First in Free Composition and the Arthur Bliss Prize for Composition. Since then she has received composition scholarships and commission funding from the Finzi Trust, the Arts Council of Ireland, the Hinrichsen Foundation and PRSF Women Make Music. Presently she is studying with Richard Ayres and Joël Bons for her master degree in composition at the Conservatorium Van Amsterdam. Her work has been performed at the Southbank Centre, London, the National Concert Hall of Ireland, St Johns Smith Square, and she has been commissioned by Rolf Hind, Peter Sheppard Skaerved, Tom Poster and the Britten Sinfonia. Her latest work Shell Symphony, a composition for Rhythms of Resistance Samba Band and large ensemble was performed in the Nieuw Ensemble’s Omwentelingen-concert in the Muziekgebouw (2017). Shell Symphony took as its subject the ecocidal practices of the oil
company Royal Dutch Shell. It was also performed in a protest context outside the Concertgebouw, to call on the Concertgebouw to drop Shell as a sponsor. Kate’s main concern as a composer is developing an activist artistic practice. To this end, she frequently collaborates with amateur ensembles and choirs in creating music for demonstrations. In her art music, Kate is most interested in the possibilities of harmony in different temperaments, the idea of myth and story-telling in the context of climate change, deep ecology and the Anthropocene, the musical properties of objects within a certain locality, and the psychology of audiovisuality.
Il Hoon Son Il Hoon Son was born in Seoul, South Korea. After he studied composition at the Korea National University of Arts, he came to the Netherlands and studied master degree in music with Cornelis de Bondt and Peter Adriaansz in The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. 11

James AlexandropoulosMcEwan
His works have been performed on the stage of Gaudeamus Muziekweek in Utrecht, Dag in de Branding in Den Haag, International Organ Festival in Haarlem and Het Orgelpark in 12
James AlexandropoulosMcEwan is a GreekScottish composer whose work moves between contemporary classical, rock and electronic music. His training in music began when he started studying the classical guitar at the age of ten, but he soon started teaching himself the electric guitar and got his first experience of composing music by writing for rock bands, in which he performed around Athens, Greece.
James left Greece at the age of eighteen, and after briefly attending Bennington College in Vermont, U.S.A. where he took various courses in Literature, Music and other subjects, James studied composition at Birmingham Conservatoire under Andrew Hamilton, Riaan Vosloo and Ed Bennett. He graduated with a BMus Composition degree with first-class honours. He was also the winner of the 2016 Birmingham Chamber Music Society Composition Prize, which was adjudicated by Richard Ayres. While studying at Birmingham, James was also part of the Birthday Present ensemble

which he formed with three other classmates and which focused on performances of long duration concerts. He played guitar for the ensemble and composed several new works for the group. He also formed Ethel, a ten-piece ensemble in which he played electric guitar and for which he wrote the forty-minute composition Between Places. The group consisted of a mix of classical and jazz players, and James used several forms of notation that combined throughnotated, improvised and aleatoric elements in various ways. James is currently pursuing an MMus Composition degree at Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag, where he studies under Yannis Kyriakides and Guus Janssen. He continues to play electric guitar in his own compositions and compositions of his classmates, as well as in his band Quaich, which is currently based in den Haag. He is still exploring new ways of bridging his loves of classical, rock, and electronic music. His Master Research for the course, titled Movable
Furniture Music: Creating Music of Engageable Ambience explores ways that contemporary classical composition can find a new space in the listening habits of 21st century listeners.

He worked as assistant conductor with Pierre Boulez, Jac van Steen, Ed Spanjaard, Kenneth Montgomery, Richard Egarr, Mark Wigglesworth, Matthias Pintscher, Antony Hermus, and Nicholas Collon.
He earned his BFA and MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in trumpet with studies in harp, flute, Ghanaian music and dance, and ballet as well 14
as receiving a MMus with distinction from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in orchestral conducting. He was also active as a trumpet player with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

He has conducted from the harpsichord Henry Purcell’s The Fairy Queen at the California Institute of the Arts and will also assist the upcoming production of Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century led by Kenneth Montgomery. A strong advocate of new music, he has performed with Nieuw Ensemble, assisted Pierre Boulez in a performance of his Sur Incises with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, premiered works by Sofia Goebaidoelina, John Cage, James Tenney, Anne LeBaron, and has worked closely with improvisers such as Wadada Leo Smith and Charlie Haden.
Nieuw Ensemble The Nieuw Ensemble has a unique instrumental structure, using plucked instruments such as mandolin, guitar and harp in combination with wind, string and percussion. The lack of literature for this group makes it as dependent upon composers, as composers have always been upon musicians. The Nieuw Ensemble has thus set out to build its own repertoire, encouraged by continuous contact with composers from different cultures, countries and generations, and longterm workshops for young composers. Since its foundation in 1980, more than seven hundred pieces have been written for the ensemble. Ed Spanjaard has been the principal conductor since 1982. In 1998 the Nieuw Ensemble and its artistic director Joël Bons were awarded the Prince Bernhard Fund Music Prize for their ‘markedly

lively and adventurous programming which can be described as groundbreaking, both in the literal and figurative senses of the word’. The ensemble introduced a large number of non-Western composers in premiere programmes focussing on Japan, the Caucasus, the Middle East and Central and South America. Other highly successful programmes have

Warm-Up Ligeti Festival
Met o.a. Pierre-Laurent Aimard en Reinbert de Leeuw Componist György Ligeti (1923-2006) hoort thuis in het selecte rijtje van de allergrootste 20e-eeuwse componisten als Bela Bartók en Igor Stravinsky. Zonder het te beseffen kennen veel mensen zijn muziek al van beroemde films als 2001 A Space Oddysey en The Shining. Als opmaat en smaakmaker voor het Ligeti Festival (5 t/m 8 april) vormt deze 1,5 uur durende talkshow mét live muziek de perfecte kennismaking met een van de meest fascinerende componisten van de 20e eeuw. Te gast zijn meesterpianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard en dirigent Reinbert de Leeuw. Weinigen hadden zo’n nauwe band met Ligeti als deze twee. Wat fascineert hen zo in zijn muziek? En wat voor een mens was Ligeti? Dat horen we van Aimard en De Leeuw. Daarnaast laten Aimard, het Dudok Quartet Amsterdam en violist Joseph Puglia in enkele sleutelwerken van Ligeti horen hoe fantastisch zijn muziek is.

Nieuw Ensemble Thirty Situations Een hoogtepunt van de Cello Biënnale 2016 was de première van Nomaden van Joël Bons door cellist JeanGuihen Queyras en het Atlas Ensemble. Het stuk werd als ‘meesterwerk’ en ‘ontroerend’ onthaald. En dirigent Ed Spanjaard noemde het ‘een van de indrukwekkendste premières sinds 2000’. Het bracht Spanjaard op het idee om Bons te vragen opnieuw een avondvullend werk te componeren. Thirty Situations heeft als onderwerp het contrast tussen fragmentatie en continuïteit. Voortdurend ervaren we het leven als fragmentarisch en toch is het een doorgaande stroom. Zo zal het stuk zowel een aaneenschakeling van fragmentarische elementen als één groot continuum zijn – een mozaïek van allerlei ‘situaties’ in afwisselende muzieken. Het nieuwe werk is op het lijf geschreven van de musici van het Nieuw Ensemble en een aantal solisten, onder wie sopraan Keren Motseri en jazzdrummer Tristan Renfrow. Ruimtelijke elektronica verrijken het klankbeeld.
