Lunchtime concert

ADAM Quartet & Soumaya Ahouaoui

In "Designerbaby's," actor Soumaya Ahouaoui tells a story about the cutting and pasting of DNA, and why this is a good idea despite resulting in designer babies. She narrates this story using Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet as a backdrop. Ravel composed this work in a time (1889) when new technological possibilities were emerging rapidly. His music offers insights into the moral choices that accompany such advancements, much like today. This afternoon, the ADAM Quartet will perform both Ravel's famous string quartet and Gabriella Smith's "Carrot Revolution," which is inspired by a quote from painter Paul Cézanne.

Spraakmakers

Op 31 januari zijn het ADAM Quartet en Soumaya Ahouaoui ook te zien in Muziekgebouw Eindhoven bij Spraakmakers!

De stemmen van bekende acteurs Ellen ten Damme, Soumaya Ahouaoui en Lars Brinkman worden verbonden met de muziek van Nederlandse topensembles. Samen smeden zij op 31 januari prikkelende verhalen over de wereld van vandaag en bijpassende klassieke muziekwerken tot één nieuwe vertelling in Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. Tegelijkertijd verteld én gespeeld, als een theatraal muziekverhaal. Klik hier voor meer informatie en tickets.
