Abstract
The music of The Hague School could be described as minimalism – but always with a twist. Always rhythmic, sometimes aggressive, and, in Andriessen’s case, packed with an enormous emotional power.
So, what can audiences expect at Danceworks? Tausk says the music will definitely keep listeners on their toes. “It’s never quite what you expect, but the incredible rhythmic impact that really hits you is right at the heart of the music.”
The concert also includes the bright, pop-driven sound of Michael Torke, the quirky individuality of Martijn Padding, and Steve Martland’s swaggering muscularity. Both Padding and Martland were students of Andriessen in The Hague and his influence on their work is clear.
