This event features a special jubilee edition of the morning concert series 'Silence' at the Oude Kerk, with a live performance by artist and composer Charlemagne Palestine. Palestine will play the 18th-century Vater-Müller organ in collaboration with Sonic Acts.

The Oude Kerk is hosting a special jubilee edition of its morning concert series, 'Silence,' featuring a live performance by the influential artist and composer Charlemagne Palestine. This 50th edition of the 'Silence' series sees Palestine performing on the historic 18th-century Vater-Müller organ. The event is a collaboration with the music platform and festival Sonic Acts, which is also celebrating its anniversary. Charlemagne Palestine, born in New York in 1947, is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and performer associated with the avant-garde and underground scenes of the 1960s and 70s. His work connects to movements like Fluxus and minimalist composers, and he is known for his legendary performances and multimedia installations. The 'Silence' series, which began six years prior with concerts around Marinus Boezem's installation 'Into the Air,' explores the acoustics of the Oude Kerk every first Friday of the month with musicians and sound artists. The series focuses on the fusion of acoustic, digital, and electronic sounds, allowing the audience to engage with the music through movement, echoing historical concert practices.
