AAAPLAY123 started with a spontaneous idea during a wedding celebration at the AAA Gallery, where drummer Lucas van Merwijk and percussionist Steven Brezet brought musicians and AAAFRESH123 together on one stage. From there, Canvas in Concert developed: a live performance built around music, painting and improvisation.
At Villa Thalia, Hans, Maikel and Roderik painted while the musicians played. The music changed what happened on the canvas, while the painting in turn influenced the musicians. Nothing was rehearsed towards a fixed outcome, and the evening left behind a painting that carried the night with it.
Musicians: Lucas van Merwijk (drums), Steven Brezet (percussion), Jeroen Vierdag (bass), Laura Beatriz Argudin Tella (keys), Reinier Baas (guitar), Gerard Piera (trombone).
