Le Bon Journal Reviews of
operas, competitions, music festivals, concerts, and more
Encounter (Ontmoeting) for violin and cello, composed by Anne Ku (2004, revised 2008), performed by Miren Ceberio Etxetxipia, violin and Allard Hartkamp, cello, 2 June 2008 at Utrecht Conservatory, recorded by Gaston Matthijsse.
"I wrote this violin/cello piece about a conversation between two strangers. Miren and Allard premiered it in 2004. Four years later, I asked them to play it again, at my final exam in composition in Utrecht. This is the best recording & performance of it so far. The link is published on the Kubasaki Alternative Website (on 20 November 2008) maintained by John Scruggs who requested my music. Enjoy!"
