HEAR\\HERE: Canto Ostinato

Pianist Helena Basilova presents a bold new version of Simeon ten Holt’s iconic masterpiece Canto Ostinato. Collaborating with composer Aart Strootman, she combines solo piano with deep electronic textures that enhance the intensity and emotional power of the piece. Ten Holt composed Canto Ostinato as an open structure in which repetition, time, and space flow into one another. He himself described it not as a concert, but as a ritual. The listener is not merely a spectator, but a participant in a musical experience that slowly unfolds. Basilova previously performed her unique version at ADE – and tonight at HEAR\\HERE.
