One Minute Symphony

Jim van der Steege

What happens when the number two determines the form of a composition? In Twee, composition student Jim van der Steege explores how one simple number can reappear time and again in music.

Two tones side by side create friction and blurring, while a single sound brings clarity. From that contrast, Van der Steege builds his One Minute Symphony: a play with duality, connections, and the tension between togetherness and solitude. You can hear the result at the concert of Friday October 2nd in Amare , The Hague.

Listen to Jim van der Steege's One Minute Symphony live during the 'Rachmaninov & Glass' concert on Friday October 2.
