HEAR\\HERE: Borrowed Time Cello Octet Amsterdam

What is more beautiful than the warm, luscious sound of a cello? The sound of 8 cellos! Cello Octet Amsterdam presents Borrowed Time: a concert centered on the question of how we can be good ancestors in these times. We have colonized the future; we have cultivated what is destined for unborn generations. How can the future feel close? Cello Octet Amsterdam invited seven composer-vocalists, including Shishani, Arooj Aftab, and Loraine James, to write music within this context. Borrowed Time is a concert featuring live cellos and various recorded voices from the past, present, and future. It is a dialogue between the voices, like a shared exercise in listening to other generations.
