Chieko &Hamid

She has graced the posters of Concertgebouw and Cello Biennale; she composes for dance, film, and opera. Voilà: omnivorous cellist and singer Chieko Donker Duyvis. Inspired by classical, jazz, and Latin music, she creates a sparkling universe that was heard with great success at ORNR in 2023.
Thus, Chieko belongs to the new generation of bi-cultural musicians who are conquering stages across genres. Just like slide guitarist Hamid Reza Behzadian, who, breathtakingly and virtuously, fuses Iranian tradition with American country blues.
In a collaboration curated by ORNR, they cross strings for the first time in a challenging dialogue between cello and guitar: a world premiere!
Musicians: Chieko Donker Duyvis (BR/NL) – cello, vocals Hamid Reza Behzadian (IR/NL) – diatonic harmonica, Indian slide guitar, dobro, vocals Simone Sou (BR) – percussion
The concert will be introduced by music journalist and programmer Stan Rijven. After the event, there will be an informal ‘meet & greet’.
