A house concert is a live musical performance given in someone's home. In comparison with a musical performance in a concert hall, a house concert is a much more intimate experience. You can speak with the musician before and after the performance, and sit close enough to really see and hear how they play. In comparison to a performance in a bar, you can focus completely on the music, without all the distractions of people ordering food, talking, smoking, etc. There are always nice people to talk with during the intermission, and the hosts usually have drinks and light snacks for the guests. Musicians appreciate having an attentive audience and they often spend the night in the home of their hosts, as part of a musical tour through an area. At some house concerts, guests are expected to make reservations and pay a fixed price for their seat. Other house concerts are more informal. In any case, everyone wins: musicians have an audience and some income in a comfortable setting, guests have a chance to hear high-quality live music up close, and the hosts get to enjoy it all without even leaving home.” Innerfireworks.com

Sunday 29 October 2011, 18,30uur -Tango Nigths- Latin Rhythms, exotic inspiration



Latin Rhythms have always been an inspirational source for Latin composers. These rhythms represent a rediscovery into the traditional Latin folk music, which was also heavily explored by many European composers who were fascinated by the exotic elements from the "new world". Several classical pieces have been composed where one can find rhythms originating from Latin dances inspired by the Tango, Rumba or Habanera.


Tango Nights- Biography

Tango Nights was founded in Utrecht (Netherlands) in 2010 where Miriam Dirr (saxophone & flute) and Carol Ruiz (piano) first collaborated. With the intention to explore the possibilities of tango music in a concert form, Tango Nights works with personal arrangements from classical tango composers such as Astor Piazzolla using a variety of improvisational elements and different combination of colors and instruments.
