What I Really Want to Say
Music history is full of thousands of works composed for special occasions: a burning love, a birth, the opening of the Olympic Games, a cherished memory—or just a cat or two. Big or small, serious or lighthearted: in What I Really Want to Say, we teamed up with the New European Ensemble to put the ball entirely in your court, the audience. From all the submissions, we selected four stories by Philip, Karin, Nicolette, and Odette. Composers Elizabete Beāte Rudzinska, Jasper de Bock, Alice Yeung, and Hesce Mourits turned them into music. Stories full of gratitude, love, and jam karet—time is rubber.
