Quote from: Christo on December 29, 2024, 10:10:33 PMMet Theo Olof's grandson, Johan Olof, two weeks ago. A violonist, he led the Amsterdam String Orchestra Lundi Bleu ('Blue Monday', the orchestra is an "extra" for most performers, in order to be able to do some 20th century music). His programme -- perfect performances -- was daring enough:

  • George Antheil, Serenade for Strings
  • Ralph Vaughan Williams, Charterhouse Suite
  • Geörgy Ligeti, Hommage a Ligeti
  • Alfred Schnittke, Moz-Art à la Haydn
Nice!

Johan Olaf's penchant for 20th century music is only natural, given his descent  :) . His father was the dedicatee of Bruno Maderna's superb Violin Concerto.
