Vincent van Amsterdam

  • Optreden in de trein

Accordionist Vincent van Amsterdam plays Jacob TV, Joep Franssens, Daan Manneke, and Heather Pinkham.

Vincent van Amsterdam is a magnificent accordionist, the first to win the Dutch Music Prize with his instrument. He regularly commissions works from composers, both emerging talents and big names, and firmly puts the accordion on the map as a serious instrument for new music. When he plays, you are on the edge of your seat. He reaches for the heavens in Angel by Jacob TV and in a section of Harmony of the Spheres, the controversial homage to Spinoza's Ethics by Joep Franssens, who is also called a composer of sacred minimalism. Daan Manneke likes to write religious music, but in Promenade, statues et la fille he pays homage to his granddaughter, of whom her photographer father made stylized portraits in Paris. Among Giants is a colorful piece by Heather Pinkham.
