In the last lockdown, we commissioned good friend and artist Gerard de Bruyne to make twelve drawings for a set of postcards. The result is 12 postcards in a beautifully designed folder. To send, give or treasure.

Benefit concert - In Ukrain an immense tragedy is unfolding before the eyes of the world. Together with Korzo, Matangi donates the entire ticket revenue of the presentation concert of the new album Outcast to Stichting Vluchteling.

March 9, 2022 we present Outcast to the world, with a public release concert in Korzo in The Hague, which will be broadcasted by Dutch Radio 4. We would like to invite everyone to attend this concert. Tickets are available via: korzo.nl. We are very proud of the result and we have already received the first favorable reviews.

One of those moments that we really look forward to is to perform Schubert's String Quintet in C, the pinnacle of chamber music, together with Benjamin Kruithof. In the Matangi Moments series, this work, sometimes described as 'spinal cord music' that gives you shivers, touches your soul and makes you completely different, will be a prelude to the (Un)heard Music Festival a week later in The Hague.

With the album 'Outcast' Matangi makes a case for artistic freedom and for musical expressiveness that stems from repression. With the combination of these three compositions on one CD, 'silent' resistance is poured into sound.

Summer has begun! Specially for this summer we selected our most favorite music for you, ideal for the beach, during a walk or with an ice cream in hand.
