Canto Ostinato Live at ADE | Helena Basilova & Aart Strootman ft. Nick Verstand | Vrije Geluiden

Experience the timeless beauty of Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt in a unique interpretation by pianist Helena Basilova during the Amsterdam Dance Event at the historic Zuiderkerk. Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt (1923–2012) has become a true classic and is performed worldwide in various formations – from solo piano and multiple pianos to ensembles and marimba. Ten Holt composed Canto Ostinato as an open structure, where repetition, time, and space flow into one another. He himself described it not as a concert, but as a ritual we experience together. That idea – the ritual, collective character – is also central to Basilova. The listener is not merely a spectator, but a participant in a musical experience that slowly unfolds. In this performance, Basilova and composer Aart Strootman explore a new sonic dimension without compromising Ten Holt’s original score. By adding subtle electronic layers, the music becomes more mystical and modern, without losing its essence. Basilova: “We wanted to add something new in terms of sound, but not change the notes – because Simeon was very strict about that himself.” The collaboration with Nick Verstand reinforces this concept: his light installation responded in real time to the sound, giving the music a spatial, almost sacred glow.
