Present day music: clattering organs, hushed Americans.
Already back in the middle of the 20th century György Sándor Ligeti discovered that the barrel organ was a music machine for serious composers. Nieuw Amsterdams Peil now organises a full concert programme with The Dulcian of organ player Guus Diekstra.
More organ music in February and March, by Olivier Messiaen and young Dutchmen. The Dutch Chamber Choir brings contemporary, modest music from the United States and we will pay special tribute to Michel van der Aa.
