Severade
Maxim Shalygin
Severade, composed by Maya Fridman and Cello Octet Amsterdam, features eight acoustic cellos and custom-built sound instruments by Rob van den Broek. This piece reflects the connection between the emotional folklore of the East and Western musical traditions, while capturing love’s destructive and constructive power. The performance features Alistair Sung, Claire Bleumer, Esther Torrenga, Genevieve Verhage, Rares Mihailescu, René van Munster, Sanne Bijker, and Sanne van der Horst, blending experimental and classical elements.
