Next month starts the new musical program of musica Extrema: Amor.

The book by the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez,
‘About the devil and other loves’, inspired Musica Extrema to make a
music program. The gripping story of the
untouchable and beautiful Sierva María is about romance,
drama and love. In Amor this story is told and musically
reinforced by the idiosyncratic ensemble Musica Extrema. U
will be taken by a dramatic story and by the
most beautiful South American melodies and songs.

Amor is Musica Extrema’s ninth theatre programme. Since the
set up in 2003, the group has undergone a development which has been in progress since its
least remarkable. The orchestra has played on practically all major and
small concert venues in the Netherlands, but also abroad they
have already been introduced to this ensemble several times.

From September Amor can be seen throughout the country.

From September the Ben van den Dungen Quartet will be back again. With their “Tribute to John Coltrane” they will be touring throughout the country in various clubs and theatres.

In the sixties ‘Trane’ formed a new quartet and took a new direction. An immediate change in the jazz music of the sixties was the result. Modal jazz was born with famous albums like ‘Impressions’ and ‘A Love Supreme’. In “A Tribute to John Coltrane”, the Ben van den Dungen Quartet presents a dazzling ode and a contemporary interpretation of a repertoire that is rightly labelled ‘classics’.

See you soon!

Just like all other Agencies in the world, also Jazz & Worldmusic Agency is hit hard by the Coronavirus. Since 14 March all our shows have been cancelled. We really hope to be back soon with more and better news! Until then: keep distance, take care of each other and let’s meet again later in the theatre!

The Ben van den Dungen Quartet brings a tribute to the legendary saxophonist John Coltrane and his music. Coltrane was one of the most influential saxophonists of all time. He gained notoriety during his stint with Miles Davis and his solo projects, hit like a bomb. The album’s “Blue Trane” and ” Giant Steps,’ were surprised both friend and foe, and was designed from the outset to the classics!

In the early sixties Coltrane formed ‘Trane’s quartet, and that changed the wole jazzindustry. An immediate change in the jazz scene of the sixties was the result of it. Modal jazz was born, famous for albums such as ‘Impressions,’ and ‘A Love Supreme’. The Ben van den Dungen Quartet, brings in this swirling ode to a modern-day interpretation of a law as the ‘classics’.

It is gonna be a great tour! The Ben van den Dungen Quartet will be playing ad more than 50 stages through the Netherlands. Dates and locations will soon be announced, so keep an eye on our website!
