Amiri Harewood piano
Pianist Amiri Harewood is a rising star in the British music scene, taking audiences by storm. He made his Dutch debut in 2025 during the Grachtenfestival, performed at the Royal Albert Hall with the Chineke! Orchestra, and was named a Classic FM Rising Star in that same year. In this recital, he juxtaposes core repertoire by J.S. Bach with contemporary music by the British composer Thomas Adès and the Nigerian composer Joshua Uzoigwe, with dance serving as the common thread.
Bach’s French Suite No. 4 and Partita No. 4 are composed of a series of characterful dances, each with its own atmosphere and tempo. Adès, himself a gifted pianist, engages in a dialogue with Chopin’s mazurkas and masterfully brings them into the here and now. The programme concludes with Egwu Amala by the Nigerian composer Uzoigwe, a work inspired by the traditional dances of the Aboh and Ogbaru women in Nigeria.
Outdoor concert
This Terrace Concert is an outdoor event. The sun can be intense and the wind can be quite strong near the water, so come prepared. In the event of unfavourable weather conditions, the performance will be held indoors in the Entrance Hall, which overlooks the river IJ.
