When did composers become non-performers? We can trace the tradition of the composer-as-performer back to the beginnings of western classical music. This 4th Annual Composers Play Composers Marathon, presented at the lower east side's most excellent venue Drom NYC, explores the connection between composers and their given instruments, as well as how composers go about writing music in which they know that they will be the performer. This matinée event features no fewer than 30 different composers performing on their own succinct solos, duos, and trios. http://www.dromnyc.com/events/2077/composer-play-composers

CHOPIN Piano Concerto No.1
DVORÁK Symphony No.7
Czech conductor Libor Pešek has enjoyed an international career spanning fifty years, and this irresistible programme is the perfect showcase for his celebrated interpretations of Czech music. Smetana’s exuberant Overture to his comic opera, The Bartered Bride, brims with infectious energy, whereas Dvorák’s impassioned Symphony No.7 captures the full emotional spectrum of Czech musical styles. With its profound depth of feeling and masterful orchestral balance, this is considered by many to be Dvorák’s greatest symphonic achievement. At the heart of this programme, Leon McCawley performs the First Piano Concerto by Polish composer Chopin, whose exquisite writing for the soloist overflows with romance.

Dick Swaab - spreker
Etienne Siebens - dirigent
Carina Vinke - alt
Asko|Schönberg
Zoran Dukic - gitaar
Scherpdenkers brengt gesproken woord en muziek samen in één concert. Een kunstenaar, wetenschapper, schrijver of politicus geeft eerst een lezing van een half uur over een onderwerp uit zijn of haar vakgebied. Daarna volgt een concert met avontuurlijke muziek die thematisch aansluit op de lezing.
Dick Swaab
Met het boek Wij zijn ons brein maakte neurobioloog en arts Dick Swaab van de hersenen een publieke discussie. Swaab bepleit de rationaliteit van het menselijk wezen en wijst een onafhankelijke geest of ziel af. Is het determinisme van Swaab een verlossing voor allen die de verantwoordelijkheid over hun leven liever niet 'zelf' dragen? De surrealistische gedichten van René Char in Le marteau sans maître bevrijden ons in ieder geval van de strakke werkelijkheid en geven onze fantasie en onderbewuste de vrije loop.
Pierre Boulez
De Franse componist Pierre Boulez staat te boek als een van de meest strikte en georganiseerde componisten ter wereld. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog omarmde Boulez het serialisme en verloste zich van de oude tradities. Ook in Le marteau sans maître. In het werk uit 1955 zijn vele organisatieprincipes werkzaam en toch weet Boulez er een onverwacht mooi en lyrisch werk van te maken. Dick Swaab kan vast uitleggen hoe dat werkt.
