On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Konrad Boehmer’s death, the Konrad Boehmer Foundation asked the New European Ensemble to compile a programme of instrumental compositions by Boehmer and composers he admired, Willem Breuker, Luigi Nono and Edgard Varèse. The selected works by Boehmer have never been performed in the Netherlands before. Also special is the Dutch premiere of the original version of Nono’s Polifonica–Monodia–Ritmica. This concert was performed on 4 October 2024 in The Hague and will now be repeated in Amsterdam on 22 January 2025.
The concert will be preceded by a pre-concert lecture given by Italian musicologist Veniero Rizzardi on the ongoing dialogue between Luigi Nono and Konrad Boehmer.
