About this concert
Rob Dirksen is not only a double bass player in the Concertgebouw Orchestra, but also a composer and bass guitar player. Eddy Veldman has led his own jazz and pop formations and performed with such musicians as Tony Sherman, Mai Tai and Hans Dulfer. Together they form a very special rhythm section, which will make the Bijlmer Parktheater move and sweat.
Bijlmer Klassiek - In the Bijlmer Klassiek concert series, music styles merge seamlessly and are mixed with other performing arts. In the series, members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra collaborate with dancers, actors, writers and musicians from all possible styles, genres and backgrounds.
About the Bijlmer Parktheater - At the Bijlmer Parktheater new stories are developed, artists are given free rein to develop artistically, and the audience feels at home. The lively, intimate and welcoming theater boasts a unique programme giving space to different identities, traditions, cultures and cultural expressions and where people find meaning in diversity.
By embracing Bijlmer Klassiek in 2022, the Concertgebouw Orchestra took over from its violist Michael Gieler, who organized the series for ten years with the Bijlmer Parktheater.
