I/O

February 2013, Muziekgebouw aan t’IJ, 35’

The performance I/O has been the founding event of the I/O Foundation. It was part of the annual project An Evening of Today — a platform for young makers hosted by the Nieuw Ensemble at the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam. This work gave the foundation not only its name, but also its future direction, as it included all basic elements that lie within its interests: the free mixing of musical styles (jazz, improvisation, electronic music, and contemporary classical music), theatre, the interaction with the audience, and the use of technology.
