About event
Writer Connie Palmen and Amsterdam Sinfonietta encourage reflection on the number 7 and metamorphoses. Stories and chamber music alternate.
The number 7 is a recurring phenomenon in Connie Palmen's work. Palmen exposes contradictions from her entire oeuvre and shares her reflections with the audience. Connie Palmen: 'I will weave my text around seven characters and the theme of metamorphosis. The friend becomes a traitor, the angel becomes a devil, the woman becomes a poet, the fan becomes a murderer, love turns into hatred, admiration into humiliation.' Amsterdam Sinfonietta illustrates Palmen's words with Richard Strauss' beautiful Metamorphoses in a version for septet and a selection from Bach's 15 Three Times Inventions.
