In celebration of Dennis Russell Davies’ 80th birthday, Maki Namekawa and Davies will perform Smetana’s MA VLAST cycle, accompanied by Cori O’Lans’ real-time visualisation.

Eight musicians and eight robots stand on stage, the human protagonists “embraced” by giant mechanical arms, forming a “robotic cocoon.” In the second part of the evening, the Cello Octet Amsterdam will perform together with pianist Maki Namekawa.
