Welcome to Let Us Cook, a day of bold new sounds, experiences, and ideas. Five emerging curators – working together as Mulch-imédia – were given the freedom to shape their vision of a day that embraces renewal, transformation, and the vibrant energy of spring. Across the different spaces of the Concertgebouw, you’ll encounter intimate sonic landscapes, musical traditions of the past reimagined for the present, and performances sure to awaken your senses – and your taste buds.

Plastic Garden – Trellis.

Installation artist Hye Young Sin plants a garden in the Foyer. This new commission is a delicate soundscape of plastic plants growing not in water, but in sound.

A Journey to the Sound of Istanbul.

In the Angel Room, Emine Bostancı intertwines ancient sounds of the kemenche with singing and live electronics, bridging the rich musical heritage of Istanbul and our present.

Island: Inward Routes Unto Memories of the Improvised.

Join Pepe Dayaw and friends in the kitchen on the main stage. In this unique experience of music and storytelling, the artists will prepare a meal that the audience is invited to taste and enjoy together. (Mind you, you will not get a full meal, but you will get a taste and be fully filled with music ...)

The curators will be present during the happening. Feel free to meet up and have a chat!
