During the Night of the Unexpected one thing is guaranteed: you will be pleasantly surprised! The Night is a one night festival, highlighting the diversity and dynamics of contemporary music practice. That is to say: a night full of musical surprises leading you right through different styles and genres, from modest chamber music to booming noise.
The programme will be presented in a tightly produced succession of short, sharp performances (without breaks), often off-stage in order to make optimal use of every nook and cranny of Paradiso. With an unconventional presentation the Night aims to enable both artists and audience to have a unique musical experience. An ensemble, for example, may position itself in the middle of the concert hall, surrounded by the audience, the audience may be sung to from the balcony, and a five-minute pianola composition may be followed directly by hypnotising beats and lasers.
Forthcoming edition: friday september 10, 20.30h. at Paradiso, Amsterdam.
