Monkeying around & Pounding by Nieuw Amsterdams Peil and Elmer Schönberger

Elmer Schönberger wrote the book Keten & stompen (which translates as ‘monkeying around & pounding’) about his friendship with composer Louis Andriessen, which spanned four and a half decades. During this concert, he will read excerpts from his book. Together with the screening of the film Keizersgrachtshuffle – a poetic portrait of the house in which Andriessen lived and worked practically all his life – an intimate and personal picture of one of the Netherlands’ greatest composers emerges. Please note that the language spoken is Dutch.
