Festival Mind the Gap! Nieuwe blik terug: Julius Eastman & Florence Price (Dutch spoken)

Festival Mind the Gap! Festival opens the doors to a richer musical perspective and provides a platform for underrepresented Black composers. On this opening night of the festival, musician, presenter, and documentary filmmaker Orville Breeveld shines the spotlight on one of the most progressive, yet forgotten, African-American composers: Julius Eastman (1940–1990) . His music is minimalist in form but monumental in expressiveness: raw, spiritual, and imbued with social urgency. Eastman refused to be confined by labels or conventions; his work is a passionate voice that still resonates today. Tonight, we bring his most fiery musical statements to life, framed by stories that illuminate his artistic courage and radical message.
