De geroemde Nederlandse flamenco meester Edsart Udo de Haes zal zijn unieke van jazz doordrenkte flamencostijl uitvoeren namens de Maastricht Guitar Society. Het concert vindt plaats op 27 februari in de Willem Hystekzaal van het Conservatorium van Maastricht.

Door Het Parool verklaard als ‘het topje van wat de Nederflamenco te bieden heeft’, Edsart Udo de Haes is momenteel een van de creatiefste flamencogitaristen in Nederland. In eerste instantie aangetrokken door de kracht, virtuositeit en diepgang van flamenco, verruilde Edsart Udo de Haes zijn carrière als klassiek gitarist voor een studie flamenco in Spanje, waar hij werd onderwezen door docenten als Jeronimo Maya en Miguel Angel Cortes. Edsart Udo de Haes voert een dynamische, moderne vorm van flamenco op die sterk is beïnvloed door jazz en houdt tegelijkertijd stevig vast aan de flamencotradities van Zuid-Spanje.

Het concert vindt plaats op 27 februari om 19 uur in de Willem Hystekzaal van het Conservatorium van Maastricht. Het adres is: Bonnefantenstraat 15, 6211 KL te Maastricht. Toegangsprijzen bedragen €12,- voor volwassenen, €6,- voor kinderen en studenten, en €24,- voor families.

Beste vrienden,
Wij zijn blij om aankondigen dat we sinds september 2019 doctoraat studenten zijn aan de Universiteit van Antwerpen, met thema “Vier tradities van mandoline muziek uit Griekenland”.

De culturele aanwezigheid van de mandoline in Griekenland is verbonden met vier verschillende muzikale tradities van vier regio’s: Klein-Azie, Athene, Kreta en de Ionische Eilanden. Aangezien deze muziek traditioneel van generatie tot generatie mondeling werd doorgegeven en de traditionele muzikanten al op leeftijd zijn, dreigt deze culturele erfenis verloren te gaan.

Door ons onderzoek, willen we een serieuze leegte in academische en artistieke kennis opvullen, over geschiedenis, mandoline repertoire, speeltechnieken en in het algemeen moderne Griekse muziek. We wensen zo veel mogelijk te concentreren op ons onderzoek. Hierdoor zien we ons genoodzaakt om de reeds voornoemde regio’s te bezoeken, maar ontbreekt het ons aan de nodige fondsen.

Wij nodigen u dan ook graag uit op ons benefit concert dat plaatsvindt op 15 maart, om 15:00 uur, in de muziekacademie van de Schilde “Grote zaal” (Schoolstraat 44, 2970 Schilde).

We zullen blij zijn om u in onze prachtige concert te zien, waar we samen naar de geluiden en aroma van Griekenland zullen reizen met de 4 tradities van de mandoline. De muziek zal ons naar de authenticiteit van die tijd leiden en ons een prachtige atmosfeer schenken!

Na het concert is er een buffet met verschillende traditionele gerechten uit verschillende plaatsen van Griekenland, bereid door twee Griekse chef-koks!

Vergeet niet om op tijd te reserveren via e-mail: info@markatatou.com of via telefoonnummer 0494/30.53.79 om samen een onvergetelijke avond te beleven!
