PRIX Annelie de Man 2021
Orgelpark Amsterdam, 1 -5 December 2021
The harpsichord is usually associated with early music, but it also
offers a rich sound palette for composers and performers of contemporary music. Annelie de Man (1943–2010) was a true ambassador of the modern harpsichord.
From Wednesday, December 1, to Sunday, December 5, the Orgelpark's programming will revolve around the prize named after her: the Prix Annelie de Man. The festival's core includes two competitions: an interpretation competition for young harpsichordists and a composition competition. Naturally, these young composers also write for the harpsichord. The juries feature notable musicians, including Jane Chapman and Kristian Nyquist (interpretation competition) and Guus Janssen and Ere Lievonen (composition competition). The artistic direction of the festival is in the hands of composer Roderik de Man and recorder player Jorge Isaac, who is associated with the ensemble-in-residence, Black Pencil.
The program offers a series of dazzling concerts featuring many new pieces: improvisations, works with electronics, modern classics by composers like Iannis Xenakis, and performances with a wide variety of ensembles.

Het klavecimbel associëren we meestal met oude muziek, maar ook voor componisten en uitvoerders van hedendaagse muziek biedt het instrument een rijk klankpalet. Annelie de Man (1943-2010) was een waar ambassadeur van het moderne klavecimbel.
Van woensdag 1 tot en met zondag 5 december staat de programmering
van het Orgelpark in het teken van de naar haar vernoemde prijs: de Prix
Annelie de Man. Kern van het festival vormen twee concoursen: een
interpretatieconcours voor jonge klavecinisten en een compositieconcours.
Uiteraard schrijven deze jonge componisten ook voor het klavecimbel. In de
beide jury's treffen we interessante musici, onder wie Jane Chapman en
Kristian Nyquist (interpretatieconcours) en Guus Janssen en Ere Lievonen
(compositieconcours). De artistieke leiding van het festival is in handen van
componist Roderik de Man en blokfluitist Jorge Isaac, die verbonden is aan
ensemble-in-residence Black Pencil.
Het programma biedt een reeks wervelende concerten met veel nieuwe
stukken. Improvisaties, werken met elektronica, moderne klassiekers; van
Iannis Xenakis, en optredens met meest uiteenlopende bezettingen.
