Aflevering Drh #6 - Pedro Latas - Zeestraat Collective - Loksias Strijkkwartet

Tijdens deze aflevering van De Roze Hoed spreken we met Pedro Latas, Zeestraat Collective en Loksias Strijkkwartet. Een deel van deze podcast is in het Engels. This podcast is partially in Dutch and partially in English. Pedro Latas (he/him) is a multimedia artist, composer and sound artist. Born in 1998, Évora, Portugal. He began his music studies in Classical Guitar. In 2016 he enrolled at the Superior School of Music of Lisbon in the Bachelor’s of Music Composition, having João Madureira and Carlos Caires as his main teachers. Upon completion of this Bachelor in 2019, Pedro enrolled in a second Bachelor’s in Music Composition at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag, where he has regular classes with Yannis Kyriakides and Mayke Nas. At the moment he continues his studies in the Composition Masters programme at the same institution. ZEESTRAAT COLLECTIVE was founded by three colleagues and friends - the composer and pianist Carlos Lopes, the pianist Inês Lopes and the composer Nuno Lobo - with the purpose of developing new performance formats through composed theatre, transdisciplinarity and the use of unusual instruments. By collaborating with different artists from various art fields, we want to enrich the experience of the music listener while aiming to connect with audiences from different social backgrounds and generations. Het Loksias Strijkkwartet, ontstaan in 2021, begint zijn muzikale avontuur met het doel, kamermuziek voor strijkers naar een breder publiek te laten brengen, zonder de technische en performatieve accuraatheid van de composities te missen. Het kwartet krijgt lessen van Janet Krause en het Casals Kwartet.
