10 Jun String Quartet No. 8 (2024)
String Quartet No. 8: nowhere safe (in Gaza) (2024) is my personal reflection on witnessing a genocide unfold online, in front of me, whereas my third string quartet, String Quartet No: 3: Night Songs (Nachtliederen) (2005) is my reflection on the life, work, and murder of young Dutch Jewish holocaust victim Etty Hillesum, who was killed by Nazis decades before I was born. Both works are a testament to or of injustice when there is a power imbalance and imprisonment and torture and murder of civilians.
