STIL #6

Dutch composer and pianist Joep Beving has released a new album in 2026: Liminal. His focus on topics such as change, uncertainty and innovation led him to explore ways in which sound can create space for reflection and connection in a world that is in constant flux. Known for his tranquil, expansive piano works, Beving’s new material exudes a sense of openness and curiosity. It strikes a balance between structure and intuition, and often seems both organic and guided by the human hand. The compositions induce moments of stillness, movement and contemplation, in which clarity and ambiguity can coexist. On his world tour to promote his new album, he is also stopping off at 30CC – for the fifth time. During his concerts, Beving transforms his unique musical style into an intimate live experience, giving you the first chance to experience the atmosphere and ideas behind his new album. opener: Margaret HermantComposer and harpist Margaret Hermant is a co-founder of ensembles such as Echo Collective, but also creates mesmerising solo sets for harp and electronics. Emotion, silence and space characterise her musical language. Together with sound engineer Fabien Leseure, she performs tracks from her solo album Freedom, which was released earlier this year on Neue Meister. An intimate, post-classical opener of the highest calibre. Margaret Hermant and Joep Beving are no strangers to one another. They have performed live together at AB before, when Echo Collective accompanied Joep’s music as a string ensemble.
