21:00 Greetje Bijma Solo NL

Everything seems to turn around the voice, around the manifold roles the Dutch vocalist develops for her voice: She plays the Diva, the Minx, the Seductress... Free improvisation in every register of her extraordinary vocal range. Rock influences and ethnical vocal techniques flow smoothly into each other as if Bijmas herself has split up into many component individuals, who then converse, encourage or contradict each other.... This is how Harry Lachner described Bijma in the Süddeutschen Zeitung. I'd only still like to add that Greetje doesn't just fill these roles... this is really how she is. And that's what's so fascinating about this woman: nothing appears artificial or put on - everything about her is r.e.a.l and honest. Greetje Bijma is honoring us with her complex yet genuine musical presence... Pure voice - not only for Purists! CH
Admission: ATS 150.-
