Parliament of Angels 2025

In concert
[strings] + Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag

Parliament of Angels, a BL!NDMAN initiative in collaboration with international partners, brings together artists and art students from institutions such as Canterbury Christ Church University, IRCAM & Lobster Films, the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague (RCTH), the Academy of Fine Arts The Hague, Art of Sound The Hague, and Art & Science The Hague. During these residencies, students, artists, composers, and curators work alongside a BL!NDMAN quartet, exploring predetermined themes and techniques. The residencies culminate in a concert performance. In 2025, it will be the turn of the string quartet, which will collaborate with four composition students from the RCTH and four students from other disciplines at the aforementioned art institutions in The Hague to create a holistic experience. The results will be presented at the Spring Festival The Hague 2025.

Residency period: January to April 2025.
