After touring the theatres last spring they keep on playing this fall.
Del Ferro en Boddé are both master pianists, very open to other musical styles, notes and chords. In these concerts they take the audience on a special trip by challenging each other,. Each concert they only prepare the starting points of the music, trying to suprise themselves and the audience as well. For example the starting point will be only playing the black or white keys. Also they each choose to play a all-time favorite song and they will improvise together on classical and jazz compositions. Anyhow it’s all about improvisation and each concert will be different!
Upcoming concerts:
October 13, Piano Duo festival, Amsterdam
November 16, TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht
November 17, Porgy& Bess, Terneuzen
December 21, Lantarenvenster, Rotterdam

2019 is starting with a special project of Mike del Ferro! As from 2019 January 3 till January 11, Opera Meets Jazz: Neapolitan songs and arias by composers such as Verdi and Puccini in a contemporary setting, will play the Dutch theatres.
Mike del Ferro, son of dramatic tenor Leonardo del Ferro, grew up with opera and classical music. After falling in love with jazz he pursued his studies on jazz but he never lost his immense love for opera and classical music and he has always been incorporating this in his original music.
A few years ago Metropole Orkest approached Mike to record an album with the orchestra with fresh arrangements written by a team of 8 international arrangers. And in 2016 they released the album Italian Opera meets Jazz recorded by Mike del Ferro with Metropole Orkest featuring vocalist Claron McFadden.

Rotterdam-based band Tommy Moustache and Sheep Got Waxed from Lithuania zap through extremely diverse genres in an explosive new collaboration.
The admiration was mutual when Tommy Moustache and Sheep Got Waxed crossed paths at a festival in Denmark. Shortly after that these eccentric and unpredictable bands decided to join forced on stage, resulting in an explosive and inflammable combination of two drummers, two guitarists, two sax players, a bassist and a huge stack of electronics.
The music Tommy Moustache has been described by critics as propulsive, mildly schizophrenic and heavily confusing alternative zap jazz. Sheep Got Waxed conjured similar unique descriptions, including ‘a mix of techno, footwork, Death Grips kind of trap and George Michael played by early Beatles.’ But the music also contains free jazz and metal influences according to the band members.

Much to her own surprise, Izaline was decorated at this year’s annual ‘lintjesregen’. Izaline was knighted by the mayor of Groningen, by authority of His Royal Highness King Willem-Alexander. She recieved the insignia of the order in front of a small crowd of fans, friends and family. Some of them flew in from Curaçao to attend the ceremony.
Izaline was granted this honour because of her achievements as a singer composer and lyricist, being an ambassador for the language of Papiamentu and the Antillian culture, crossing the borders between and bridging the peoples of the different countries of the kingdom of The Netherlands, and for her charity-activities.
Izaline received the title of ‘Knight in the Order of Oranje-Nassau’
Read the entire speech of mayor Peter den Oudsten in Dutch (and a little Papiamentu) here.

The island of my father is a musical and personal double portrait of a father in his homeland and his daugther overseas. Izaline and her father travelled Curaçao together with creative director and pianist Thijs Borsten to see the island trough his eyes. It was a personal dream of Izaline to make this program because the way her father shows Curaçao it’s more beautiful, lighter and real. Her personal goal is to let everybody experience Curaçao this way: the colors,the flavours, the people, the food and ofcourse the music!
