The Big Loud Thing

The Big Loud Thing is Ensemble Klang’s dynamic series of pop-up concerts. In autumn 2024 we focus on the bold and versatile saxophone, from jazzy and rhythmic to smooth and lyrical.

Closing out the series, Ensemble Klang celebrate the launch of a new album of works by Maarten Altena with the world premiere live performance of his work Flashback. Bebop-like saxophone lines flash through the work’s short duration. Energy-laden saxophone duos and trios by Mellits and Andriessen combine avant-garde minimalism with pulse-driven grooves. And closing out the festive edition Ensemble Klang perform Erik Satie’s circus-parade ballet work Parade.

Admission for this event is free.
