About This Item
?Daring compositions for a Daring New Land. Bringing together newcomers from all corners of the world, with an openness to experimentation and a wonderfully unexpected mix of old and new; these elements apply to both to the province of Flevoland and to ensemble Black Pencil. Almere, located in Flevoland, is the home base of Black Pencil since 2020. It is the youngest and greenest city of the Netherlands. As an artist you often can become inspired by the green and the space to enjoy this environment, you organically develop an affinity with nature while there. The relationship between music and nature has been a source of inspiration throughout history. We felt the urge to create new music for this remarkable new province; inspired by Flevoland's landscape and it's own history, written by composers of calibre with different backgrounds. Thanks to the openness and decisiveness of the province, the ideas became reality.
