Concert Fokker organ | 2018-03-25, 11.00 hours | Small Hall - Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam

On adventure with Moosbrugger

The Austrian musician Alexander Moosbrugger (1972) is very versatile. Besides organist, harpsichordist and programmer, he is also known as a composer, in which he does not shy away from combinations of new and old music. His interest in 'hearing' as a compositional starting point has moved him to study philosophy in Vienna in addition to music. Still fascinated by this fact, Moosbrugger will take you on a listening adventure this morning. As a guest player on the unique Fokker organ he is accompanied musically in a few works by flutist / composer Ned McGowan, specialist on the contrabass flute.
On the program of this surprising concert are works by Moosbrugger himself, music from the historical repertoire of the 31-tone organ, a new composition by McGowan, and last but not least: old music. As an organist, Moosbrugger is actively engaged in solo performances of music by, among others, Johann Sebastian Bach, Nicolas de Grigny and in particular Dieterich Buxtehude, whose visionary music also sounds during this concert: an inspiring musical adventure with Alexander Moosbrugger.
