About
Keys & Stix Festival has a unique set-up; the two-day event is the first to exclusively feature duos with piano and drums, as well as variations there of. The event aims at capturing a new trend by accommodating already existing duos, but also at inspiring others for innovative input in that direction.
Since the format shapes the profile of the festival and removes the focus from stylistic identity, practically any keys-and-stix duo ranging from improvised avant-garde jazz to contemporary, classical, electronic or ethnical can contribute to the affirmation of the idea.After a debut in a rather informal atmosphere at the Mellotone Studios, Amsterdam the second edition took place at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam on 25 and 26 March 2011. Huub van Riel, artistic director of the Bimhuis joined the artistic committee and the festival became a co-production of the Bimhuis and Keys and Stix.The program included the unique meeting of the Dutch veteran Misha Mengelberg and highly celebrated talent from New York Tyshawn Sorey; well established on the Dutch and European jazz scene Harmen Fraanje and Martijn Vink; extravagant French female duo Donkey Monkey: Eve Risser / Yuko Oshima; Contemplative and dynamic duo Neofobic: Dimitar Bodurov / Jens Dueppe; Explosive duo with more than 30 years of history Iréne Schweizer and Han Bennink; electronic minimal Parisians Ambitronix: Benoit Delbecq / Steve Argüelles.
