Carte Blanche for Ere Lievonen


In the fall of 2019 it is exactly 10 years ago that organist Ere Lievonen gave his first concert on the renovated Fokker organ. Since 2009 he has been the permanent organist of this special 31-tone organ that is located in the Small Hall (Kleine Zaal) of the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ. It is high time to put him in the spotlight with a carte blanche concert. Harpsichordist, fortepianist, pianist and organist Ere Lievonen (Finland, 1972) has specialized in both historical performance practice and contemporary music in Finland and the Netherlands. He has performed at many festivals for old and new music in the European Union and the United States. Lievonen studied piano and organ at various conservatories with, among others, Jacques van Oortmerssen (organ), Bart van Oort and Jacques Ogg (fortepiano). He makes music with several early music ensembles, such as 'Beauty and the Beasts', 'ALGO', 'Salon Eusebius' and has a duo with Anna Ryu (violin). He is also co-founder of the Finnish Ensemble Ambrosius that plays contemporary music (by Frank Zappa) on baroque instruments and is part of Hexnut, Occult Ensemble and Ensemble SCALA, the ensemble of the Huygens-Fokker Foundation. That his choice of music therefore extends beyond 31-tone music will become clear during this concert. The program includes works by Bernardo Storace, Juhani Nuorvala, Pier Damiano Peretti and compositions by Ere Lievonen himself, which are performed by him and several guest musicians.

You can order tickets at the box office of the Muziekgebouw.
