DoelenEnsemble Performs Buddha at De Doelen Rotterdam
An underground, slow-burn minimalism night.
The DoelenEnsemble performs music that is rarely heard, focusing on Julius Eastman's 1984 work, Buddha. This piece features open notation and free parameters, where the musicians interact in a circle without a conductor to shape the performance. The program also includes Simeon ten Holt's Palimpsest, a work that unfolds through quiet passages and layered soundscapes. Both pieces center on time and repetition, creating a concentrated listening experience with unique outcomes in every execution.
