About the Program

“Looking Inward” is a concert that is inherently vulnerable, with emotion woven both thematically and sonically throughout. Zuidema’s approach to contemporary performance combines technical mastery of the instrument, embracing its wide range and timbres as well as its imperfections, finding beauty and narrative in the resistance and tension between performer and their instrument. This program not only highlights the innovative possibilities of the bass clarinet but also offers the audience a safe sonic space for vulnerable introspection.
