Voices of the Violin – Santpoort

Joseph Puglia is gonna play his “Voices of the Violin” once more, at ‘T Mosterdzaadje in Santpoort-Noord, The Netherlands.

From Joe’s website, about the concert:

“Voices of the Violin” is a cycle of new solo pieces. Rather than showing the personality of the performer
or composer, these works aim to show how the personality of a violin shapes the way we experience
music – to show what the instrument has to say for itself.
The project grew out of my own search for a violin. In 2021, I had to look for a new instrument. I tried
over 80 different violins, each with a unique personality which influenced my playing. The way I
approached a piece of music could change drastically with each instrument. The pieces of “Voices of the
Violin” draw from this experience, exploring how violin and violinist connect, and how we work together
to create one musical voice.

Martijn Padding – 26 Seconds
