Musical gifts
Musicians inspire composers to write new music
Roeland Hendrickx asks Piet Swerts for a new work, composed especially for his ensemble. Daan Janssens writes a cello piece, tailored to the expressive talents of Arne Deforce. Richard Mühlfeld persuades Johannes Brahms to compose for the clarinet. And Eugénie Alecian dedicates her string quartet to the ensemble in which her niece plays first violin. Four times that a powerful bond between composer and performer(s) has resulted in tailor-made work. These musical gifts are unwrapped with love.
