Orchestre Partout Lab Martin Fondse X Háshem Kabreet
About the event
Sixteen young musicians blend Middle Eastern traditions with contemporary jazz, and they do so on stage at the Bimhuis. Musical encounters at the Bimhuis
Orchestre Partout LAB brings together sixteen young musicians for an evening full of surprising musical encounters. Under the direction of percussionist Háshem Kabreet and pianist and composer Martin Fondse, they work on a new repertoire for two days. Half of the participants have roots in the Middle East, the other half studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory. This concert is the result of their collaboration.
Tradition and contemporary jazz
During these intensive days, musical traditions blend with contemporary jazz. Martin Fondse, winner of the Boy Edgar Prize in 2017, is known for his ability to blur the boundaries between classical music, jazz, Latin, and world music. His compositions and arrangements are humorous and narrative. Háshem Kabreet, born in Syria, has a rich foundation in Arabic and Middle Eastern music. He plays instruments such as the daf, riq, darbouka, cajón, and djembe. Together with Fondse, he guides the young musicians in this unique project.
Orchestre Partout and the Conservatory
