‘Secret Compartment’ is an intimate and playful performance with newly composed music for toy piano’s and cello, combined with the movements of an acrobat. The concert has interactive elements, and is inspired by the aesthetics of Zen art, and the astronomical objects catalogued by Charles Messier.
Performed by Nick Vos (acrobat), Anne Veinberg (toy piano’s), and Wilma Pistorius (cello)
