On March 29, Thierry Fischer and the Radio Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra perform the world premiere of Aperture (2008) for string orchestra in the acclaimed ZaterdagMatinee series in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Aperture is a homage to the American visual artist James Turrell, the Light and Space artist who takes light itself and makes it his material. There is no object in his art, no image, and no point of focus.

Aperture — a homage not in light, but in sound slowly inhabiting the space – was written for the Dutch Radio Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Thierry Fischer. It was commissioned by the ZaterdagMatinee series and the Nederlands Fonds voor de Podiumkunsten+. The work is dedicated to Kees Vlaardingerbroek, artistic director of the ZaterdagMatinee series.
