Jazz violinist and composer Yannick Hiwat returns to the Grachtenfestival! With his own Yannick Hiwat Quintet, Yannick wants to combine the traditions of the jazz and string quartet, in order to renew both worlds. The band mixes inspiration from traditional Surinam and African music with hip-hop in the tradition of J Dilla and classical music with the harmonious innovation of jazz standard-bearers such as John Coltrane. Yannick is inspired by the stories of the world, news flashes that deserve more attention and black pages in history books that are often skipped.
From Monday 10 to Friday 14 August, Grachtenfestival and Felix Meritis will present a unique series of concerts with the most prominent top talent in the Netherlands. Enjoy this intimate concert live from the reopened Felix Meritis or watch the live stream at 12:00 PM!
