UPCOMING PREMIERE OF MUSICAL COMPOSITION ‘HOLA HU’ AT DE PLAYER DURING OPERA DAYS ROTTERDAM: 31 MAY 2013

Yodel event De Player

Int the frame of the Opera Days Rotterdam, De Player is organizing a yodel event featuring screenings, readings and concerts. In this context a first version of ‘Hola Hu’ will première, a composition for two unisono voices that deconstruct a yodel to its micro-elements. ‘Hola Hu’ is the first vocal sound piece that Myriam Van Imschoot composed as a hommage for her yodel teacher and singer Doreen Kutzke.

Hola Hu is part of a longer series of related works in which Van Imschoot explores the voice phenomena of yodeling, crying, ululation and other forms of communication that bridge distance.
