The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra KCO will dedicate two concerts to the music of Theo Loevendie in October 2023 with English mezzo Polly Leech as a soloist. The concert will be conducted by Bas Wiegers. The orchestral version of Loevendie’s Six Turkish Folk Poems will have it’s first performance on Thursday October 12th, repeated on October 13th in combination with Loevendie’s orchestral work Flexio (1980) written for the KCO. The programms will be completed with works by Ravel and Smit, and probably Wilbert Bulsink, who studied composition with Loevendie at the Amsterdam Conservatory.
