New piece for “global hyperorgan”, commissioned by organist Randall Harlow to be presented in June of 2025 at Orgelpark, Amsterdam, an international concert stage in Amsterdam
for organists, composers and other artists.
The work will include simultaneous performances in Amsterdam, Las Angeles, and Melbourne.
The Orgelpark is housed in the beautifully restored monumental Parkkerk in the Gerard Brandtstraat, near the Amsterdam Vondelpark, and aims to integrate the organ into mainstream musical culture through a new presentation. Moving away from the traditional function of the organ serving the building (the church), in the Orgelpark the building serves the organ and its music.
The organ is the focal point of the very diverse program of Orgelpark activities. Every season about 80 activities take place, such as concerts for diverse groups of enthusiasts. Think, for example, of classical music, jazz, and improvisation. The Orgelpark also hosts concerts in combination with other forms of performing arts, like dance and film, and organizes master classes and symposia. Once in a while the Orgelpark turns into a workshop for young talent from conservatories in the Netherlands and abroad. The Orgelpark also commissions new compositions. In short, the Orgelpark is buzzing! – from Orgelpark
