Maya Fridman, North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra & Sander Teepen - De Graaff: The Forest in April (2021) [24/96]

For cellist Hans Woudenberg, De Graaff wrote "Rimpelingen" in 2017 on the occasion of his farewell to Asko|Schönberg, a work that was received with joy by the trade press. In season 2020-2021 cellist Maya Fridman was artist in residence at the Utrecht-based TivoliVredenburg. Through the artistic leadership of this venue, contact was made with the composer and a new initiative came about, with support from the Fonds Podiumkunsten. De Graaff was commissioned to compose a new work for Fridman, which was later titled "Concerto no. 5, The Forest in April".
