HERZ ENSEMBLE
Support our annual 14 February Concert at the Mozes en Aaronkerk Waterlooplein Amsterdam
Formed in 2017 for their debut concert at the Orgelpark in Amsterdam, featuring the work of composer and artistic director Kate Moore, Herz Ensemble is an eclectic collective of outstanding musicians who share a common aesthetic and ravenous appetite for the raw energy, creativity and vitality of new music. Having worked together on numerous projects spanning more than a decade in a variety of ensembles and orchestras, this collective of musicians was brought together by Moore to perform and record her major works and curate that of the works of her contemporaries. Officially coming together as a recognised group after the performance and release of Moore’s Herz Cycle upon which the name of the ensemble is derived, they shared her Zielsverwanten artist residency for the concert season 2018-19 at The Muziekgebouw aan ‘t Ij, performing two critically acclaimed concert programs entitled Night of the Tarantula and xgenx. Alongside Capella Pratensis, Wishful Singing and Temko, Herz Ensemble premiered Moore’s 2018 Bosch Requiem Lux Aeterna | VIVID for the opening concert of November Music in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Since then Herz has performed regularly in festivals including Wonderfeel and Muze van Zuid and established venues including Muziekgebouw aan ‘t Ij, The Korzo Theater, Hertz Zaal Tivoli Vredenburg, and on Radio 4.
