Celebrating Böhmer – time for a worldpremière!
Konrad Boehmer (1941) played a key role in the development of new music in the Netherlands. This program features the world premiere of his previously unperformed Rabies for piano quintet alongside a Fünf Bagatellen, in the style of Anton Webern. In addition to work by Boehmer, his close friend Willem Breuker is also an important player in the Dutch jazz world. Varèse and Nono were also great composers of the 20th century from whom Boehmer was inspired.
