Brand new compositions by leading musicians

With a passion for experimentation and innovation, Plein Theater presents Nieuwe Noten Amsterdam. Brand new compositions by leading musicians form the core of this concert series for contemporary chamber music. Bass clarinetist Fie Schouten and composer Aspasia Nasopoulou curate the series, which takes place monthly on Sunday afternoons. 
 
The True Love Song Cycle, composed by Renske Vrolijk for soprano Bauwien van der Meer and pianist Caecilia Boschman, addresses the relevance of #MeToo and a highly influential Christian fundamentalist movement gaining power in the United States. For these Reborn Christians and Evangelicals, women’s rights are not the same as human rights. In eight seemingly lighthearted songs, the cycle explores the mindset of men and women within this movement. Afterwards, two Dutch premieres follow—both performed by bassoonist James Aylward. 
 
This concert takes place at the Plein Theater as part of the Nieuwe Noten Amsterdam series.
