Klankhaven / Rataplan
After the notable Oorstof passages by harpists Marjolein Vernimmen and Jenna Vergeynst: Outdoor Hiking with Sound & Other Fireworks in Antwerp’s Middelheim Park and Echo Yes No (Svoboda) and Refraction (Van Esser) during Ruiskamer #6 at Ghent’s Miry, Vernimmen and Vergeynst bring the fascinating, West African Kora-inspired composition You, me, in trees by Haroun Iqbal to the stage.
Composer, guitarist, and musical world traveler Iqbal wrote this composition for Vireo after an in-depth study—featuring inspiring musicians such as Derek Gripper and Bao Sissoko (Baaba Maal, Zap Mama)—into the fascinating world of the West African Kora. For this new Oorstof/Klankhaven edition, Iqbal joins the harp duo live on stage for what promises to be a unique rendition of this enchanting piece.
The music platform Klankhaven and Sound in Motion’s Oorstof concert series are joining forces for a monthly program at Rataplan. As purveyors of adventurous and challenging music, they pair pioneers and key figures from various genres with young talent from both home and abroad.
