Music and live performances
Every evening of the festival, during the international poetry readings, there will be live music, with special performances by Bram van Sambeek, Andy Moor, Benedicte Maurseth, Bruno Ferra Xavier da Silva and Lavinia Meijer.
There will also be music during the special programmes. At the opening ceremony, ‘Thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird’, Yannis Kyriakides with his MAE (previously the Maarten Altena Ensemble) will present the world premiere of ‘The Arrest’. The closing party will take place in the foyer with the Lewinsky Quartet and the Artvark Saxophone Quartet.
