Since August 2014, every month, the Concertzender has been broadcasting an episode of the new series of programmes, in which the new generation of Dutch composers are highlighted. Who influences who? What are important musical inspirations? And what motivates them? The music of this sixth episode has been compiled by the originally Slovenian composer and jazz pianist Kaja Draksler.
Each month, we will be broadcasting new works of them, but we also ask them for one main work, which is dear to them or has played an important role in their development. We also ask them to let us hear a work of a colleague for the next programme in these series. In this way, automatically, a new boost of Dutch music comes to life.1. Thelonious Monk.
