Mike Patton in Holland!
Patton to perform full-length program centered on Luciano Berio’s masterpiece, Laborintus II, on Friday, June 18.
Mike Patton is not one to shy away from experiments. Mike guest stars in a program featuring Luciano Berio’s 1965 masterpiece, Laborintus II, a modern concert chamber opera based on works by Dante, TS Eliot and Ezra Pound. Ictus, the Nederlands Kamerkoor and video-collective Visual Kitchen support Patton and his musical guests. Laborintus II mixes a whole range of musical styles, from dramatic opera to ‘60’s European jazz. After the break Patton will hold an improvisation session with a host of greats from the international jazz scene. The evening is rounded off with a steaming DJ-set inspired by Italian B-movies.
