Slagwerk Den Haag

Profile

Since its formation in 1977, Slagwerk Den Haag (SDH) has been playing (percussion) music in the most varied forms: from existing repertoire to new work in close collaboration with composers and partners from other disciplines. Over the past years, SDH has produced various projects and productions, whether or not in collaboration with other parties. For Huid (Skin), a visual and musical performance from 2016 about tactile senses and making contact, SDH worked together with composer Arnoud Noordergraaf and the Utrecht theatre company Schweigman&. In 2015, the group performed in Tulpmania, a musical theatre production from De Veenfabriek and composer Yannis Kyriakides. SDH is a leading performer of well and lesser-known percussion music, and has performed at the Bang on a Can Festival (New York), the Berliner Festspiele, the Holland Festival, November Music and the Gaudeamus Music Week. At the Holland Festival Slagwerk Den Haag played in the performances Slagwerk Den Haag Ex Machina (2010), But What About the Noise (2012), Beyond the Score (2015). SDH can also often be heard at the Concertgebouw and the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ. In their present set-up, SDH consists of Fedor Teunisse, Frank Wienk, Joey Marijs, Niels Meliefste and Pepe Garcia.
