North Sea Round Town- Re:Collections jubileumconcert

North Sea Round Town opens its anniversary edition with a special artistic encounter between sound and imagination. In honour of twenty editions of creative music, the festival presents a collective reinterpretation of its most iconic artistic concerts. An evening that brings together six signature artists, who in recent years have contributed to some of the festival’s most talked-about productions: Sun-Mi Hong, Sanem Kalfa, George Dumitriu, Alessandro Fongaro, Joachim Badenhorst, Kit Downes.

To honour the artists and projects that have emerged within the festival over the years, we are creating a special evening in which previous work is revisited, deconstructed and reinvented in a new, collaborative artistic form. This evening is both a mirror and a vision – a tribute to what has been, and a daring exploration of what is yet to come. It marks the beginning of a new chapter for North Sea Round Town, which originated in 2006.

In the impressive Laurenskerk – the setting for many premieres in recent years – an extensive night programme unfolds in which past, present and future come together in a shared artistic experience. This concert transcends the boundaries of a traditional performance. You can sit, walk, listen attentively or let your mind wander. It is a living experience. The Laurenskerk carries every sound, every silence. An invitation to slow down, tune in, and be part of the next chapter in the festival’s story.

Sun-Mi Hong – drums
