SoundWave Collective: Cross-pollination programming by young actors, actors, composers and other creators

SoundWave Collective is a new ensemble based in The Hague, founded to create performance opportunities for young instrumentalists, singers and dancers.

Founder and artistic director Libia Hernández wants to offer young players, composers and other creators the opportunity to gain professional experience and collaborations with various disciplines. SoundWave Collective wants to be a connecting link between different musical movements and genres where experiments with cross-fertilization programming form intriguing combinations of musical styles. We want to find creative ways to attract and convince a diverse and as wide an audience as possible that classical music is something of our time and an enduring force that builds bridges between cultures and continents.

Organ and Orchestra: Conflict and Dialogue—Francesca Ajossa with Soundwave Collective

Three sonic worlds—organ, strings, and timpani—engage in a dialogue in a program full of contrasts.                                                                                                                                               From Bach’s dramaticpower to the rhythmic energy of Carter and Amado, and from Heiller’s virtuosity to Poulenc’s compelling organ concerto.

An evening in which conflict gives way to dialogue, and individual voices blend into a single, impressive whole.
