Having previously performed at the Cello Biënnale, the Indonesian cellist and composer Alfian Emir Adytia returns to the festival with a three-piece band to perform the concert version of his album Decolmuseum (Decolonisation Museum). The album tells the story of his ancestors, who fought for Indonesia’s independence, and symbolises his own ‘decolonisation’: breaking free from the shackles of trying to fit into one single musical genre.  
 
The traditional sounds of Indonesian folk music are juxtaposed with progressive rock and metal. This interdisciplinary performance – which includes images and archival video material from pre-independence Indonesia – is more than just an impressive musical performance: it’s a homage to human resilience.

Sander van Elferen

Frank van de Laar (Laren, 1965) completed his studies with Jan Wijn at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam in 1989 with the highest possible distinction. He continued his education in Hannover with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling and in Amsterdam with Naum Grubert. In 1987, he won the 3d prize at the International Brahms Competition in Hamburg and in 1988, he won the first prize at the Postbank-Sweelinck Competition. He made his debut in the Grote Zaal of the Concertgebouw that same year, and numerous performances in The Netherlands and abroad followed in high tempo. He has given concerts in the United States, Asia, and almost all European countries, winning many prizes and distinctions. His repertoire spans from the entire Baroque era to contemporary music, with an interesting role for lesser known early and contemporary works. He is also an active chamber musician. His performances have been recorded by countless radio and television channels and he has released over twenty-five CDs. He is a professor at the conservatories in Amsterdam and Zwolle.
