Sunday – July 22nd 2007 JAMESTOWN (RHODE ISLANDS)
Sunday – July 22nd 2007 – JAMESTOWN (RI): Evening concert in The Jamestown Philomenian Library, 26 North Road, Jamestown, RI 02835 by the Dutch Mandolin Chamber Orchestra HET CONSORT conducted by Alex Timmerman.
Programmed for this concert are compositions for mandolin orchestra by i.e. Raffaele Calace, Karl Jenkins, John Craton, Victor Kioulaphides and Jeff Hijlkema. The latter’s "Perpetuo Melomania" is a brand-new and interesting Dutch composition composed for Het CONSORT. The work is written in the Minimal Music style close to that of the American pioneers of this genre, Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Reily. Their "minimalism" in music met world-wide recognition and inspired many composers around the globe to compose in this style. Although repetition and replay are unmistakable main characteristics of his "Perpetuo Melomania", Jeff Hijlkema uses harmonies and melody layers for his ‘on-going melody’ that are more related to the Pop music of today.
This is a concert of the Philomenian Public Library Music Series and starts at 7:00 p.m. Free to public.
This project is supported by the Fund for Amateur Arts and Performing Arts (Netherlands). |
The concert will feature performances oforiginal Italian compositions for mandolin orchestra by i.e. Raffaele Calace, Arrigio Cappelletti and Luca Mereu as well as contemporary music by Greek, Dutch and American composers like Victor Kioulaphides, Jeff Hijlkema (world première) and John Craton. Scheduled to be performed during this concert are two works that deserve special attention. For the "Perpetuo Melomania", composed for mandolin orchestra by the Dutch composer Jeff Hijlkema, will receive its first performance in the US while the composition "The Legend of Princess Noccalula" for solo mandolin and mandolin orchestra by the American composer John Craton will receive its US première by Het CONSORT, the orchestra to which the work was dedicated. The soloist in this composition is the orchestra’s concertmaster, the Dutch mandolinist Sebastiaan de Grebber.
The concert starts at 8:00 p.m. Entrance: $15 ($10 seniors/students).
