Grachtenfestival: Muziekkapellen Estafette: Ori Ron

Cellist Ori Ron performs works by Bach, jazz, and new music during the Muziekkapellen Estafette in Stadspark Osdorp, Amsterdam. His own Songbook Suite connects jazz standards with classical forms. Additionally, pieces by Matthias Bartolomey and Bastien David will be performed, who utilize the cello as a rhythmic and percussive instrument. Bach, jazz, and new cello music in one program Cellist Ori Ron performs a program that brings together classical and contemporary music. Excerpts from Bach's cello suites alternate with his own Songbook Suite , in which jazz standards such as My Funny Valentine and All the Things You Are serve as the starting point for new musical explorations. The result is a personal and multifaceted concert. The cello as a rhythmic and percussive instrument In addition to Bach's suites and the Songbook Suite , works by Matthias Bartolomey and Bastien David will be performed. Both composers employ the cello as a rhythmic, percussive, and almost orchestral instrument. In this way, the program demonstrates the breadth of the cello's capabilities.
