Programme Proposals A musician's life is a funny thing. We’re always on the road, spend half our lives in cars, on busses, planes and trains. It’s a kind of parallel universe you step into on a regular basis that starts to feel like home after a while. It becomes a sort of ritual, you sit down, take out your laptop, check if your passport is still there, try to remember when you were supposed to go to which gate and make a mental note of how many minutes you have left till boarding time and then automatically calculate the equivalent amount of episodes of whatever-favorite-show-you-have-at-that-moment that leaves you with. Ideally you’d read a book, or listen to music, or write something, but the continuous flow of people, the noise and the slight nervousness of missing something essential make it hard to concentrate. The rest is for on the plane, for this timeless surreal place of no-mans-land ideal for reading, writing and digesting all that happens on the ground. It’s still hard to listen to music, music is personal, music has to be listened to in silence, in your own space. In this very peculular no-mans-land of traveling you occasionally cross paths with kindred spirits, friendly faces, fellow musicians. We do develop a raven’s eye for other passengers carrying instruments, we smile shyly at them, then usually start some small-talk that quickly turns into the typical musicians conversation that can go on for hours. Who did you study with, where, have you ever played for that teacher, ever auditioned for that orchestra, what is your experience in that city, have you ever tried this bow, have you heard about…Poor fellow passengers. Even though they don’t happen daily, these encounters can be very uplifting. Especially when you cross paths several times with the same people. A couple of months back, at a beautiful music festival in France we met Australian violinist Kristian Winther, who was in Europe for a few weeks of touring. About a month later we landed in Rome to go to another festival in Florence and on the train station randomly ran into Kristian again! He came to our concert in Florence, we all walked around the city, cooked some pasta, shared some good wine and even better conversation and during this evening the idea of a collaboration in Australia came up. A musician’s life is peculiar, we travel around all the time and we don’t really understand the concept of ‘home’, but the good part is that on our way strangers become friends, we meet people from all over the world and speak each others language through music. This programme is the result of two worlds meeting, and sharing the same love for music that is universal and knows no borders. encounters on the road Gerard Spronk, violin Kristian Winther, viola Irene Enzlin, cello Vera Kooper, Piano J.
