One of the only jazz/pop accordionists in the Netherlands.
Accordionist Dirk Overbeek (1998) shows the versatility of himself and his instrument in everything he does. Dirk cannot be categorized, and as much as he might like to, he is at his best outside the box.
In addition to his own compositions, during this concert he will perform his own arrangements of pieces by American jazz guitarist Pat Metheny and by pianist Chick Corea.
Dirk wants to break new ground for the traditional Brazilian accordion repertoire during this concert. Pieces by accordionists Sivuca, Dominguinhos and Mestrinho will be performed. Very unknown to the general public outside of Brazil, but very worthwhile and where many influences from other styles can be heard.
