Brucknercasco

Frederik considers the game with material from other composers a delight and often uses it as a starting point for new pieces. Like Bruckner, Richard is an innovator. With humor, sudden lyricism, and playfulness, he show how Bruckner envisions the future.

Are we going to swing to Bruckner? The big band may traditionally be a jazz orchestra, but Konrad understands better than anyone that this traditional brass and rhythm section will create an exciting and energetic symbiosis with Bruckner’s Symphony No. 6.

Bruckner canceled this symphony due to an unrecognizable theme. Rick rearranges the material until the theme gloriously appears at the end. Seung-Won demonstrates how the enchanting music of the Korean collides and merges with the European Bruckner. Brace yourself for a mesmerizing mix of East and West.

Bruckner and Reza believe in big sound alongside small sound, creating extreme contrast by playing the highest instruments higher and the lowest lower. Maxim is fascinated by the weightlessness in Bruckner’s music. Thirteen brass players open with the closing speech from Bruckner’s 8th. Let his music transport you to another galaxy.

Listen to a new generation of composers! Four students take on Bruckner’s study. The SCORE Collective, established specifically for Bruckner Casco from the Conservatory A’dam, will be performing their work!

While 20 trombones play above you, Frieda, Pitou, and Jasmine sing about what has changed and what has stayed the same since Bruckner’s time. Christiaan, a hardcore Bruckner fan, combines all four movements of the Fifth into a 45-minute super finale for two quintets and a piano… he has promised the piece will be disruptive!

You will hear how Bruckner’s unfinished Finale would have sounded if he hadn’t died prematurely. Sébastien filled in the gaps in the score and specially adapted his creation for this festival – originally intended for 100 musicians – to a version for 16 musicians!
