Dido & Aeneazz with Eric Vloeimans Concert
21 Nov20:15 - 22:30Grote zaal

This anniversary season, Calefax looks back on some highlights. An absolute milestone was Dido & Aeneazz, a collaboration between trumpet player Eric Vloeimans and Calefax. Virgil’s classical tragedy is given an entirely new spin in Dido & Aeneazz, a recomposition of the opera by Raaf Hekkema (saxophonist of Calefax) with a cycle of new songs by Eric Vloeimans. It invites the listener to a musical journey that virtuously flows from the baroque original to jazz, calypso and klezmer, and back. During the concert, illustrations by artist Hedy Tjin depict and accompany the colorful music.

‘Calefax and Eric Vloeimans do the impossible.’
– Het Parool, Erik Voermans –
