Give Life Back to Music

Muziek is life! Bass player and composer Rob Dirksen and the versatile jazz musician Eddy Veldman bring a swinging plea for the energy of dance music – in whatever style. With a wide range of musicians, including members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra and its Academy, they will perform music by Debussy, Daft Punk, jazz greats Bill Evans and Cannonball Adderley, and of course Rob Dirksen and Eddy Veldman themselves.

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.
